The USA had better jet aircraft in 1945 than Germany did
The late model Meteor was faster
US had no better aircraft till arrival of F86,even "original" F86 was not
better than Me262,originally F86 supposed to have straight wings
The Germans never did get their
engines to work for more than 25 hours while the
Rolls Royce engines in the Meteor were good for 2000
It was not a design problem,it was a material (resource) problem.
Because they could not get neccesary raw materials .If you cannot import
them,you cannot use them,is it not obvious?
Germany never managed to build a succesful heavy bomber,
the USA had 3 types in service and the B-36 under development
You are trying to compare backward US technology with German tecnology.
Four engine propeller driven bombers never receive much attention in 3rd
Reich,in fact only notable advocate of them was Molders,after his death four
engine bomber development was put totally on back burner.
Germans,unlike US,were not interested dropping bombs from bombers,both America
Bomber and America rocket were not driven by propellers.
The NACA in the USA was alreay working on swept wing
technology in 1945
Yeah right,even von Karman considered that a fantasy till he saw working
examples made in Germany.
Von Braun acknowledged that all his work was built on
the foundations laid by Goddard.
And Jules Verne,typical example of German "understatement"
The rocket engines used in the X planes post war were designed by
Goddard's team and were far BETTER and more reliable
than those in the Me-163
Yeah right.
Then there is the fiasco that was the German nuclear project.
If they had only a couple of month more time Ike's dire prediction would be a
reality,and we now probably be discussing the morality of nuking New York and
London (instead of Hiroshima and Nagazaki) using ,not four piston engined
bombers but Ballistic missiles
The myth of German technical superiority is just that.
I wonder why US keeps this "myth" under lock for 75 years.
1300 Billion dollars might be the reason.
There are advanced nations and advanced countries.
You must pay advanced nations a kind of "protection money" (like Marshall
Plan) to prevent the repetition of the events between between WWI and WWII
