The Messerschmitt Me 262 is one of the most iconic planes from World War 2. As the first jet fighter fielded in significant numbers, it marks the shift from piston to jet aircraft. Let's go over its history and design. This is Part 2.

Germany gave Japan the plans for the Me-262. When U.S. troops occupied Japan in 1945, they found a cave in the mountains the Japs were working on that plane. Inside the cave it was safe from air raids.

Cool. I bet he was quite a guy and very knowledgeable about aerodynamics. ;)

Thousands of German professional people emigrated to the US after WWII...
My friend like most had three basic reasons for doing so.
Russians...Jews...Communists or any combination thereof.
