Hi Al,

Not arguing with you, but I'd be curious to know what rationale you
use to arrive at the conclusion that the ME-262 was a dead end
project.

The fact that there were no follow on aircraft. Of course the fact
that Germany lost the war was a major factor in this, but it is still
a fact. The 262 was the first and last jet fighter of its linage.
