"The 262 had a 5:1 kill ratio and only 200 saw combat."

I'm guessing that number includes bombers(?) Any idea what the straight up Me 262 vs. P-51 ratio was?

I think that would be hard to document and the 262’s had the Bombers as first priority.

And IIRC, most of the P-51 kills on the 262 were during its take off and landing periods.

I have looked a couple of times and not found anything definitive. Maybe that some FReeper with history bent knows that answer. BTW that is the Allies number - the German number was much higher!
