[quote=Graham Boak;53563There are lots of fighter-bombers around, true. But given that modern air forces do not use piston engines, rocket engines, turboprops, or hyper/warp drives - what else would they be but jet fighter bombers?[/quote]

Shame about the lack of piston engines in my view but I thought John was just pointing out that, for all its drawbacks at the time, the Me 262 in the bombing role was nevertheless the forerunner of the way most airforces have developed since.
