Re: Me 262 should have been used as a bomber?
Richard, I have just dig out an article about PR.XIXs (look out for Ventura booklets! Merlins are in print, so I suppose Griffons will be forthcoming) and it provides 718 km/h at 7,9 km. Ceiling was 14,9 km. What is important is a comment that operating on between 640 km/h at 10,5 km and 595 km/h at 12,2 km allowed to keep safe distance from German jets. Now, have a look on MiG-15 performances.
