Re: Should the Me262 been used exclusively as a jabo ....
Leo
Indeed! A friend recalled that during such attacks altimeter of his Mustang changed into a prop! It is obvious the faster aircraft needs more altitude to start the attack, more altitude to recover from the dive, there is less time to identify target, make aim, deliver bomb or rocket attack, make a strafing attack, etc. That is why air brakes were introduced. Richard The question is who, when and where. I did some experiments and achieved results that were just expected. Otherwise, could you make a summary of the report? Conditions, number of approaches, percentage of hits or near misses, etc. |
