Re: Nastiest Surprises in Air to Air Combat

I vote for the 262 -- that had to be scary .... even if it was too little too late.

Yes, I did too! Just think of the surprised faces of the B-17 and B-24 pilots when they first saw this "new fighter" that didn't have propellors. Plus buzzing them so fast that the gun turrets couldn't even turn with them. Bet there were many a soiled pants when seeing the 262's. Plus the 4-30mm cannons of the 262's didn't help the situation much either.........
