Re: Me 262 should have been used as a bomber?

Total USAAF claims in air-to-air combat in WW2 by all types is on the order of 15,000. That is from AF Historical Study 85. I would very much doubt that total air-to-ground claims for USAAF in WW2 amounted to 40,000. So the 55,000 number has to be very suspicious. Total German losses in air-to-air combat? But certainly not by the P-51 alone.

Frank.
