Well all Hello to the new member KometLover. I cannot say i agree with you on the comet, bybe the 262. But yes the RAF jet was not up to the Germans. That said the USAAF was not even as good as the Brits.

How can the Stirling be anyless ugly then the Lancaster?

The British jet engines were, if the Germans got with the British in designing a jet it would have been amazing...wait a minute...

plan_D, the way i interpret that message is as follows: the british and the germans developed a jet and the russians put it in service...

I shouldn't assume you would all look at them properly, it was the Ta 183 plus a Rolls Royce 'Nene' engine creates a Mig-15. Of course they moved the tail plane down and extended the fuselage to accomadate the engine but it was a German designer that encouraged those changes.

A pritty interesting thought! I always had the idea the Russians (Soviets) developed the Mig from the Captured German airframes and plans. I need to admit I have not read about the engine program.

Ok I am trying to get a photo with my quote, but it would seem I missed?

 

[plan_D]

Yes, most of the American and Soviet planes came from German designs and British engines.
