Product Description The Messerschmitt Me 262 is the first jet-powered fighter aircraft used in combat. Produced in Germany, it entered service in 1944 as an intercepting fighter. Bomb and reconnaissance versions were also created. It was named Sturmvogel by German pilots, and among the Allies it was known as Turbo. The late entry of the aircraft into service meant that it did not play a significant role during the war. The Messerschmitt Me 262 achieved 900 kills while losing 100 of their own machines. This aircraft is inspired by a model that is located in the Deutsches Museum in Munich. It was piloted by Hans Guido Mutke, who in the last days of the war flew it to Switzerland, where he was incarcerated. Years later, the machine returned to Germany as a wonderful museum exhibit.
