Heinz Bär is the eighth ranking air "Ace" of all time. He fought on every German front throughout the entire duration of World War II in Europe and Africa.
First flown on April 18, 1941, the Me 262 was the world's first operational jet aircraft. Confusion dominated this aircraft’s design process, with Hitler envisioning a bomber and designers envisioning a jet fighter. Clearly the best fighter plane of World War II, the 262 bristled with firepower and was capable of flying 120 miles per hour faster than America’s P-51 Mustang. The aircraft’s real failure lay with the German Air Ministry, which did not recognize the jet engine’s potential. Variants included a tandem-seat trainer and a nightfighter with long-wave radar and "antler" antennas. © Copyright 2003-2010 The Flying Mule, Inc.
