Descriptionof B-26 Marauder vs Me 262. Europe 1945
Manufacturer

As the world's first jet-powered fighter aircraft, the Messerschmitt Me 262 of the German Luftwaffe heralded a new era in design, performance and combat capability when it made its operational debut in 1944, outclassing its Allied counterparts in terms of both speed and firepower. In the skies over Austria and southern Germany, the Me 262 engaged in fierce aerial combat as fighter pilot Adolf Galland and his JV 44 battled three USAAF bomber groups, targeting their formidable - but ill-prepared - Martin B-26 "Marauder" with often devastating results. In this study, Luftwaffe historian Robert Forsyth examines how the USAAF crews in the twin-engine "Marauders" attempted to fulfil their bombing missions, while the jet pilots in the Me 262s attacked with the 30mm MK 108 cannon in the nose and eventually with 55mm R4M air-to-air missiles. First-hand accounts, specially commissioned artwork and archive photographs enhance the fascinating and action-packed story of these two aircraft and the fearsome battle that was fought between them.
