Using rare eye-witness accounts, the authors portray both sides of the air war between the Me 262 and Allied piston engine fighters and bombers. The authors have drawn extensively from the personal accounts of both German and Allied pilots as well as thousands of archive documents: As I closed, I gave on last burst of gunfire. There was a flash as the Me 262 broke in two and began to spin, bursting into flames. One of its engines broke away and spun crazily downwards. I then saw, as I closed, the pilot's parachute opening amidst the wreckage. Next moment, the fabric burst into flames. He had bought it."
In a low-level attack, I dropped canisters of anti-personnel bombs. During my second attack, I used my rockets against trucks and tanks. During my third attack, I emptied my cannon. Many trucks were in flames. At least 30 Me 262s participated in this attack."
Also included in the volume is an in-depth look at various high-speed and swept wing variants and projects and also a detailed study of American, French, British, Czech, and Japanese post-war testing and evaluation and production. This final aspect of the Me 262 story is complemented by many rare photographs taken in both Germany and overseas as well as accompanying full-color artwork.
