Me 262 "-S" aircraft at Riem April 1945
Good Evening,
I have reason to believe that Me 262 "white 1 + S" and Me 262 "white 8 + S" found at Innsbruck-Reichenau in May 1945 were present at Muenchen-Riem on 26 April 1945. Perhaps they were not included in the inventory of JV 44 Me 262s that day because "-S" aircraft may have been substandard and not suitable for combat. Dan O'Connell infers this in Me 262 Production Log, (2005), p. 87: "... A white 'S', for Schule (school), was painted under the tail plane, indicating the aircraft should only be used for flight training..." Is there any documentary evidence forbidding the use of "-S" Me 262s for combat? best regards, Jim
