Messerschmitt - Me-262a-1a
Red 2
SCHWALBE - "Swallow"
AvHistory - Version-4.00.165
Gregory Pierson's Version 4.0 first released in August 2006 represents a complete update of the AvHistory 1% Assembly Line Process (1%ALP). Compared to our previous efforts, 4.0 is an order of magnitude improvement and a closer step towards our goal of producing aircraft that perform within 1% of the real aircraft. For additional info on Version-4 flight packages see the included AvHistory - Version-4 1%ALP text file.
AIRCRAFT BACKGROUND:
John Whelan BRAVO/4 has painted the Swallow as Red 2 of 10./NAGr 11. It was the presonal aircraft of Fw (sergeant) Karl Heinz Becker. This plane uses a custom painted cockpit by Alex Mets' who is better known as Artmag-Reloaded aka artmag.
Fw Karl Heinz Becker was a pure jet ace scoring all 7 of his kills while flying the Me-262.
Two skins are included - both Summer & Winter camouflage. The Me-262 will automatically change camouflage patterns based on what season you select for CFS3 to be in.
Developed from a 1938 design by the Messerschmitt company, the Me 262 "Schwalbe," ("Swallow") was the worlds first operational turbojet aircraft. First flown as a pure jet on July 18, 1942, it proved much faster than conventional airplanes.
Development problems, Allied bombings, and cautious Luftwaffe leadership contributed to delays in quantity production. In late 1943, Adolf Hitler agreed to mass production, but insisted the aircraft be used primarily as a fighter-bomber.
On July 25, 1944, an Me 262 became the first jet airplane used in combat when it attacked a British photo-reconnaissance Mosquito flying over Munich. As a fighter, the German jet scored heavily against allied bomber formations. The bombers, however, destroyed hundreds of Me 262s on the ground. More than 1,400 Me 262s were produced, but fewer than 300 saw combat.
Most remained on the ground awaiting conversion to bombers, or were unable to fly because of lack of fuel, spare parts, or trained pilots.
