Historical Information

The Messerschmitt Me 262A-2 Schwalbe was a famous German fighter-bomber aircraft from World War II. It was the world’s first operational jet-powered fighter, introduced into Luftwaffe service at the end of the war. The Me 262A-2 mainly served as an attack aircraft, used, among other roles, in operations against Allied bomber formations in 1944–1945. Its revolutionary design and performance (with a maximum speed significantly exceeding piston-engine aircraft) made it a symbol of advanced technology of that era. It was operated exclusively by Germany.
