271. Me 262 V1 W.Nr. 262 000 0001 "PC+UA" first flew as a conventional piston-engined aircraft powered by a single Junkers Jumo 210G. Messerschmitt test pilot Fritz Wendel lifted off the runway at Augsburg at 13:40 hours on 18 April 1941. He quickly returned due to an overheated engine.

272. This and the previous photo show that the standard Luftwaffe markings were first painted over the bare metal airframe whose different tones suggest wide vertical bands of colour.

273. This is a photo that was cropped from a larger view of the front of the hangar at Augsburg, which can be seen on page 86 of Smith & Creek,
Me 262 Volume One, (Classic, 1997). This cropping shows that the V1 retained the Jumo piston engine while a pair of BMW P.3302 V2/V10 prototype turbojets were installed between September and December 1941 at Augsburg.
