The massive American bomber formation of more than 1000 bombers plus over 500 escort fighters seemed endless. The sky was filled with them.
The Americans were confident. Allied air supremacy reigned over all of Germany, but rumors of a new Luftwaffe aircraft so fast it could barely be seen had been spreading alarmingly.
But few believed them until, suddenly, bomber after bomber was shot down with accurate cannon fire that tore them to pieces. As the P-51s scrambled to search for the intruders, dozens of twin jet engines roaring with power joined the cacophony of war.
Over 35 Messerschmitt 262s, jet fighters streaked through the skies and unleashed a barrage of 30-millimeter cannon fire against the bomber formation.
Their swept-wing design gave them never-before-seen maneuverability, making them difficult to track for the hundreds of P-51s. Quick and accurate bursts were more than enough to wreak havoc in the formation.
As the Allied aircraft swarmed the small pack of the world’s first jet-powered fighters, the Me 262s swiftly disappeared on the horizon, victorious at the cost of minimal casualties.
