Best Jet of the War?

[GermansRGeniuses]

IT WASN'T ALLOWED TO PROVE ITSELF IN COMBAT!


It couldn't even fly over Germany until the war was over!

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

at the end of the war meteor F.IIIs were based in belgium and germany and carried out ground strafing missions, so it did overfly germany...........

the ardo 234 was a jet ?

 

[Erich]

yes the Ar 234 was a jet and one of the best a/c in the recon role

 

[NightHawk]

ok. thanks, i saw 2 modles 1 with jet engines and 1 with props.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

props?? are you sure this was the blitz??

 

[NightHawk]

yeah i saw it on a search in google, cant remmber on what subject.

 

[cheddar cheese]

you sure it wasnt the Ar-232?

It probably wasnt a 234, NH.

 

[Erich]

yes the Ar 234 was a jet with two underslung engines. First as a recon and then to a bomber. Limited success but quick, very few were brought down by Allied air action.

my friend and ace of the US 352nd fg Don Bryan described to me in full details of his 4 Arado encounters and on one of these missions he brought down one just beyond the Remagen bridge which it bombed

[the lancaster kicks ass]

the Ar 234 was a jet with two underslung engines

[cheddar cheese]

There probably was, I doubt it entered service though.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

Ar234C


Four BMW 003 instead of two Jumo 004...


Something like that, at least.



No operational service.

 

[NightHawk]

See lanc, i was right Just because they built it, doesnt mean it entered service

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

damn, i saw it on the front of a model box, that's what i based my argument on
