History of the Messerschmitt Me 262 Model

The Messerschmitt Me 262 was the world's first operational jet fighter. Entering service in the Luftwaffe at the end of World War II, it took part in interception and ground-attack missions from 1944, among others over the territory of the Third Reich. Despite its innovative design and technological superiority, it did not significantly affect the course of the conflict, mainly due to being introduced too late into service.
