The earliest Me-262s suffered from notoriously weak and unreliable
nose-wheels assemblies, which led to a number of fatal accidents. It was
a
fault of fabrication, not design.


The earliest Me 262s did not have nosewheel assemblies.

OK, make that the earliest "operational" Me-262s. Thanks for the correction.
