Me 262 Schwalbe

==Summary==
The Me 262, nicknamed "Schwalbe" (Swallow), is a twin engine turbojet fighter and the world's first operational jet fighter aircraft. The aircraft made its very first flight on April 18, 1941 with piston engines, making it's maiden flight with jet engines on July 18, one year later. However, it's entrance into Luftwaffe service into the war would be delayed, only being introduced into service in April 1944.
There were 1430 Me 262s built. Although during the war, only around 200 would be operational at any one time. The aircraft was mainly used during it's short service life as a bomber interceptor, and secondarily as a fighter-bomber. Due to the speed of the aircraft, specifically while it is in the air, the main tactics employed to combat 262s were to attack them while they were on the ground, taking off, or landing.
Me 262 pilots in total during the war claimed a total of 542 kills on Allied forces during World War 2.
