The Me 262 was the first mass-produced jet aircraft in the world and its performance proved to be far superior to that of the Allied aircraft. Although the turbojet powered Me 262 went into service with the German Air Force in 1944, it came too late and in insufficient numbers to affect the outcome of World War II. It had been developed at the end of the thirties when biplanes were still in use. The Me 262 and the Junkers Jumo turbojet engine were an astonishing project and both were operational within 5 years. Used initially as a fighter-bomber, it later served purely as a fighter, the one in which Pilot Heinz Bär achieved 16 kills.
