RE ME-262:
Interesting how they figure out to beat that thing... they couldn’t catch it, as it was 100 mph faster than anything we had in the sky...
So the Mustangs, Lightnings, and Thunderbolts just loitered over the airfields and blew them over with .50 fire on landing and takeoff.
Adolf Galland was the commander of the ME262 Jagdegeschwaders (Fighter Wings); He wound up as a consultant to the Argentine Air Force later on, and they flew British Gloster Meteor jets. He was asked by way of comparison between the ME262 Schwalbe (”Swallow”) versus the Meteor, as he had flight time in both. He said, paraphrasing, “Had the Brits come up against us with these (Meteors), we would have wiped up the skies with them.”
