Messerschmitt Me 262. With a sleek shark-like fuselage, revolutionary
swept back wings and Jumo turbine engines, it must have been
a sight to see one autumn day in 1944 when encountered for the
first time. The 262 represented the Luftwaffe’s most potent
air weapon during World War 2; however, not enough were produced
in time to turn the tide of war. Shown here is Me 262A-1a
'Yellow 7' of 11./JG 7, based at Parchim, Germany in early 1945,
flown by Oberfeldwebel Heinz Arnold.
