Re: What if the Me-262 wasnt tampered with

I think Graham wrote all that had to be said ... but let me add a few thoughts:

- Because Germany was losing the war the Me 262 was not a very successful fighter (if I'm not mistaken its kill-loss ratio was about 1:1; but it was not a good bomer either)

- Jet fighters were better than piston-engined ones not because of their superior speed but becuase they could use low quality fuel

- Hitler may have been the biggest bungler in history - but he's not to blame for each and every German blunder in WW2.
