The Me-262 Schwalbe was a German jet fighter designed by the team led by Willy Messerschmitt. It was one of the most advanced warplanes to see front-line service during WWII. Its protracted development began in 1939, but aerodynamics research work and jet engine development delayed its mass production. The prototype Me-262V1 flew in April 1941, followed by a number of research and pre-production aircraft; the series-built Me-262As appeared only in the summer of 1944.
The Me-262A single seater was built in three main versions: A-1a fighter, A-2a fighter-bomber and A-1a/U3 reconnaissance aircraft. It was an all-metal low-wing monoplane, of a streamlined design, powered by two Jumo 004 turbojets suspended under the wings. It featured novel features such as swept-back wing and a tricycle landing gear. It had a clear-view canopy and was fitted with a non-ejection seat. It was equipped with four MK 108 cannons mounted in the fuselage nose. Two bomb pylons could also be carried under the front fuselage (A-1a/Jabo and A-2a variants), while two racks for R4M air-to-air rockets could be installed under the outer wings (A-1b). More than 1,400 planes were produced, but a max. of 200 were operational at any one time. Even though the Me-262s were rather late and unable to turn the tide and help the Germans to win the air war over Europe, they were capable interceptors and a significant menace.
A number of Me-262s fell into Allied hands and some were examined in Britain, the USSR and the USA post-war. A few Me-262As, designated the Avia S-92, were also operated by the Czechoslovak Air Force; a total of nine S-92s were introduced in 1947 and used until 1951.
