Synopsis

Designed by Willi Messerschmitt in 1938, the Me 262 was the world's first turbojet aircraft to enter combat. First introduced to operational flying in June 1944, it was superior to its allied counterparts and could have changed the course of the World War II if it had been introduced earlier. This book not only describes the history of the Me 262 in the '40s, but also brings the story up to date by describing how Herbert Tischler, the restorer of WWII aircraft, is constructing flyable replicas of the Me 262 from the original designs.
