Blood Red Skies: Messerschmitt Me 262 squadron

The Messerschmitt Me 262 was the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft. Although design work began long before the start of World War II, development problems - from the engines to interference from the highest levels of command - meant that the aircraft was not operational until mid-1944, too late to have the desired effect. The Me 262 was more heavily armed than any Allied aircraft and, in terms of speed, outperformed any Allied aircraft. It served in a number of roles, e.g. as a light bomber, reconnaissance aircraft and experimental night fighter. Depending on its role, it was given nicknames such as Schwalbe in the fighter versions or Sturmvogel in the fighter-bomber versions.
