    July 18, 1942 – A Messerschmitt Me 262 prototype makes its first flight under jet power, test-piloted by Fritz Wendel. Previous flights had been driven by a propeller. First time I saw a jet, I shot it down.

        Haha wasn’t expecting you to shit on the 262 like that. No praise, just talks about how he shot them

        The General was recounting what happened, not his thoughts about it. Furthermore, the technical achievement of the 262 speaks for itself.

        Doesn’t have to. He beat them. Don’t forget they were the pilots who would bomb hospital ships and strafe prisoners.
