Description & Specifications

Using rare testimonies from Me 262 pilots, Robert Forsyth examines what it was like to fly the world's most advanced interceptor in the deadly skies of Germany in 1944-45.

From its first appearance in the summer of 1944, the Me 262 surpassed every other Allied aircraft in speed and firepower, offering a powerful attack with four 30 mm Mk 108 cannons and a Jumo 004 jet engine.

The problem faced by the Luftwaffe, however, was numbers. By the end of the war, the availability of engines and trained pilots was limited, and only thanks to the performance of some veteran aces of the Jagdwaffe, such as Adolf Galland, Walter Krupinski, and Johannes Steinhoff, did the aircraft make a significant impact in the aerial war and caused significant concern to the Allies.

Filled with specially commissioned artworks, including action diagrams, battle scenes, armament views, and maps, Robert Forsyth offers the definitive technical and historical guide to the high-ranking Me 262, using rare photographs and first pilot testimonies.
