IT WASN'T ALLOWED TO PROVE ITSELF IN COMBAT!


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

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

Ar234C


Four BMW 003 instead of two Jumo 004...


Something like that, at least.



No operational service.
