#1 Jet of World War II
Hi the Meteor was used to shoot down V1 missiles it was quite good at it!
too so it was band from front line service i think until the end of the war. "Gordon" wrote in message ... They were so confident in the Meteor that they wouldn't put it in combat against the 262. I have read that the British were afraid the Germans might gain the advanced technology if one was shot down. I've alway wonder what advanced technology was being referred to. Agree, Walt! The Me 262 A-1a with 24 R4Ms and an EZ42 revi installed was a monster in comparison to the Mk 1 Meteors. No RAF pilot I have spoken with has expressed doubts in this regard, including men who flew both. v/r Gordon ====(A+C==== USN SAR Aircrew "Got anything on your radar, SENSO?" "Nothing but my forehead, sir." |
