There si always the He162 jet fighter.It was built out of balsa wood and loloked like a V1 with a pilot.It handled terribly and was difficult even for a experienced pilot to handle.Hitler expected his hitler youth to fly them in early '45.

A prototype is still a plane. So we change this to aircraft that served. The He-162 looked sweet though. I'd say that or the Me-163 'Komet'.
 
I'm not sure about that. The Me-163 had the potential to be completely uncatchable. The He-162 had serious stability issues and would have been a handful for even experienced pilots.
 
There were several piston-engined fighters that were faster than the He-162! And of course the Me-163 was far faster still.
 
the He- 162 had a top of 522mph i dont know of any piston fighters that could top 500 and the Me-262 wasnt strictly a fighter was it, and the Komet was an interceptor.
The P-80 never actually saw combat.
 
It was always a fighter. The A-2a was a bomber/ground attack and the U/3 (If I remember correctly) was a Recce.
 
It was a fighter that was excellent of intercepting. The Me-163 is an interceptor because all it could do was attack bombers. The Me-262 could dogfight as well, so it's a fighter in my books.
