Nov 6, 1944: First time I saw a jet, I shot it down. I was 1st in my group to shoot down an Me-262. He was on final - not very sportsmanlike - but what the hell?

At that point did you recognise the jet for what it was or were you thinking "Oh look that aircraft lost its propeller and is on a glide approach"?
