Me 262 Schwalbe - Search Videos

Developed from a 1938 design by the Messerschmitt company, the Me 262 Schwalbe was the world's first operational turbojet aircraft. First flown under jet power on July 18, 1942, it proved much faster than conventional airplanes. Development problems (particularly its temperamental engines), Allied bombings and cautious Luftwaffe leadership contributed to delays in quantity production. On July 25, 1944, an Me 262 became the first jet airplane used in combat when it attacked a British photo-reconn

The Me 262 entered service with the Luftwaffe in 1944 and was nicknamed Schwalbe (Swallow) when used as a fighter, and Sturmvogel (Stormbird) when configured as a fighter-bomber.
