I recall GD sending out press releases stating that if the US had the F-16
in WWII the Nazis would have crumpled in two days.

What I couldn't figure out is why two days? As soon as any enemy saw
something that technologically advanced flying around they'd surrender.


I expect that with 45 years of development as the well that the Nazis
might have come up with something a little more competitive than an
Me262 to take on the F16.

Note the best, if albeit most expensive F16, was the Japanese FS-X/F-2
which has in service an active array radar years before the the 24
seen on specialy equiped F15Ds.
