Historical overview:

The Messerschmitt Me 262B-1a/U1 was the world’s first operational jet fighter, used by Germany during World War II. The B-1a/U1 variant was a two-seat night version, adapted for combat against Allied bombers. It entered service in 1944, operating mainly on the German front until the war ended in 1945. Despite its very advanced design, its impact on the course of the war remained marginal due to its late introduction into operations. Messerschmitt Me 262s achieved around 900 confirmed air victories.
