The Messerschmitt Me 262
Germany
By Salem
The Messerschmitt Me 262 was the world's first jet propelled fighter to go into service, that was in 1944.
It caused quite a stir with the Allies when it was first introduced.
Mustang pilot Bud Anderson had the new German jet fighter in his sights. But as he closed in, the jet "just shrank up and vanished."
The Messerschmitt Me 262 had streaked away from him at more than 540 MPH which was 100 miles per hour faster than the P-51.
