Re: Should the Me262 been used exclusively as a jabo ....
John
The concept of fighter bomber as a standard equipment was much older than Me 262. For example, all Polish PZL P.11c fighters had bomb racks, though they were not used in anger as far as I know. I believe that in the early concepts Spitfire had to have bomb bays, nevermind the load was minimal. And were not He 51s so equipped in Spain? That said, the problem of ineffectiveness of Me 262 in this role is not related to the idea of fighter bomber or jet engine, but rather quality of German training and the aircraft itself.
