Re: Jet V Jet 1n 1944 / 45
Given that in 1944/45, none of the RAF or USAAF jet fighters in development (Meteor, Vampire, P-80) would have had the range to serve effectively as an escort fighter in the face of a potential Me 262 threat, was there a conventional piston-engine fighter that would have been more effective than the P-51/P-47's of the time?
Would a deH Hornet or a Hawker Tempest II/Fury with drop tanks (or contemporary US fighter) been a sufficient improvement to have been considered? ...geoff
