Re: jet aircraft in Italy?

I'd just add my growing impression that to people in 1944-45, "all jets looked the same", perhaps because it was the absence of propellers that made the greatest impression on anyone who saw one of these aircraft, not the details of their shapes. I can think of at least two pilots who shot down an Ar 234 but claimed an Me 262 for.

Also, we tend to think of a bomber as being much bigger than a fighter but the Me 262 and Ar 234 were not so far apart in size (or so I thought when I built models of them when I was a boy!).
