Re: Me 262 should have been used as a bomber?
Tony,
Jabos were definitely of little military value.
However, they achieved one thing: they pinned down part of the Fighter Command which would have been more useful elsewhere, in particular over Malta.
Moreover, their raids had a good influence on the morale of the Germans as they gave the illusion that the Luftwaffe was still on the offensive in the West. Their low loss rate was also good for propaganda purposes.
