ME 262 Jet (11/13)

The Messerschmitt Me 262 jet was easily the most innovative and developed fighter plane during the war. It had a top speed of nearly eight hundred miles an hour, and was far more armored and powerful than any Allied fighter pilots. As a result, to destroy the Me 262 the only way American or Soviet fighter planes could effectively do it would be to attempt to shoot them on the ground or while they were attempting to land.
