Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe
Author: Mantelli - Brown - Kittel - Graf
Publisher: Edizioni R.E.I.
ISBN: 2372972189
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 52
Book Description
"It was as if an angel was pushing." So Adolf Galland, absolute icon of the German, described the Messerschmitt 262 "Schwalbe" record holder's first fighter in history with jet engine to enter into operational service. The Messerschmitt Me 262 was a twin-engine multi-role jet fighter wing arrow developed and produced by the German company Messerschmitt AG in the forties. Used by the Luftwaffe during the final stages of World War II, he holds the distinction of being the first fighter in history with jet engine to enter into operational service and the first fighter twin-jet. It is considered the most advanced aircraft used by the Germans, also forerunner of fighter jets made in the Soviet Union after the war. According to some historical allies, with the Me 262 the German aircraft industry created a plane that theoretically could have won the war for air defense and give back to the Luftwaffe supremacy in Germany. Compared with the fighters supplied to the allies at the time, including the Gloster Meteor which would come into service shortly thereafter, the German jet proved faster and more powerfully armed. But many problems of development delayed the entry into service and the technical problems he suffered it made an operating too few examples in order to influence the tide of the air war in Europe. However, unlike the jet planes of the allies, which were used only for operational service and not clash with enemy aircraft, the Me 262 they shot down more than 100 aircraft, including bombers and fighters.

Me 262 in Action
Author: Hans-Heiri Stapfer
Publisher: MMD-Squadron
ISBN: 9780897475549
Category : Fighter planes
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The Messerschmitt Me 262 became the first operational jet fighter in the world. In addition to its Jumo 004 turbojet powerplants, its swept wings were a further innovation that made the Me 262 one of the most extraordinary designs of World War II. The Me 262 A-1a achieved the incredible speed for its time of 497 mph - almost 125 mph faster than the North American P-51 Mustang. The Me 262 not only enjoyed superior speed, but it also had deadly firepower: a total of (4) Mk.108 30 mm cannon were mounted in the nose of the fighter variant. Its operational service, however, was hampered by its temperamental engines and under-strength undercarriage. A total of 1,433 Me 262s were built during World War II. Covers the production and development of the Me 262 with more than 100 photographs, color profiles, and detailed line drawings. SS1212

Modelling the Messerschmitt Me 262
Author: Robert Oehler
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1780966865
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
Developed from a 1938 design by Messerschmitt the Me 262 Schwalbe (Swallow) was the world's first operational turbojet aircraft. First seeing combat in July 1944, it proved to be particularly effective against the large Allied bomber formations that were operating over Germany late in the war and more than 1,400 were produced, though less than 300 saw combat. This book showcases six different builds of the Me 262 across the scales from 1/72 to 1/32, across a range of skill levels. It also includes a comprehensive list of all the available kits and aftermarket products.

Fighting Hitler's Jets
Author: Robert F. Dorr
Publisher: Quarto Publishing Group USA
ISBN: 1610588479
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
Fighting Hitler's Jets brings together in a single, character-driven narrative two groups of men at war: on one side, American fighter pilots and others who battled the secret “wonder weapons” with which Adolf Hitler hoped to turn the tide; on the other, the German scientists, engineers, and pilots who created and used these machines of war on the cutting edge of technology. Written by Robert F. Dorr, renowned author of Zenith Press titles Hell Hawks!, Mission to Berlin, and Mission to Tokyo, the story begins with a display of high-tech secret weapons arranged for Hitler at a time when Germany still had prospects of winning the war. It concludes with Berlin in rubble and the Allies seeking German technology in order to jumpstart their own jet-powered aviation programs. Along the way, Dorr expertly describes the battles in the sky over the Third Reich that made it possible for the Allies to mount the D-Day invasion and advance toward Berlin. Finally, the book addresses both facts and speculation about German weaponry and leaders, including conspiracy theorists’ view that Hitler escaped in a secret aircraft at the war’s end. Where history and controversy collide with riveting narrative, Fighting Hitler’s Jets furthers a repertoire that comprises some of the United States’ most exceptional military writing.
