When the revolutionary Me 262 jet fighter first appeared in the dangerous skies over northwest Europe in mid-1944, it represented both a new dawn in aeronautical development and the greatest challenge to Allied air superiority for a long time - and it came as a shock. Formed from the test unit Kommando Nowotny in mid-november 1944, and following rudimentary training, Jagdgeschwader 7 became the world’s first truly operational jet unit of any size and significance. Despite the pilots still being uncertain of their awesome new aircraft, with its superior speed and armament, victories quickly followed against both US and British aircraft. By war’s end JG 7 had accounted for some 200 enemy aircraft shot down in combat. 128 sider i formatet 18;5 x 25 cm.
