As the world's first operational jet fighter in combat, the ME-262 was developed before WWII began, faced initial challenges due to engine issues and limited resources, but ultimately proved a significant technological leap against Allied bombers in 1944. Despite not affecting the war's outcome due to production limitations, captured Me-262s were studied by the British and Americans, leading directly to the F-86 and influencing subsequent designs.
