ME-262 by Franklin Mint Armour Diecast Airplanes

ME-262 Messerschmitt Luftwaffe \"Stormbird KG51\" Unit 1./KG51, Max Speed 870 Km/Hr

Designed to meet Adolph Hitler\'s vision of a high-speed, light-payload ground attack bomber, the Me 262 was first flown on April 18, 1941. As the world\'s first operational jet aircraft, development of the 262 was dominated by confusion, with Hitler envisioning a bomber and designers envisioning a jet fighter. Capable of outpacing the P-51 Mustang by 120 miles per hour, the 262 was clearly the best fighter plane to serve in WWII but was too late to help the Luftwaffe. Its specialized maintenance requirements and fuel shortages, coupled with aggressive Allied ground attacks prevented it from having any serious impact on the outcome of the war.
