Nothing was inserted by me, what I posted was directly from the TECHNICAL INTELLIGENCE (T-2 AMC) that was published in 1947


So are you saying the TECHNICAL INTELLIGENCE (T-2 AMC) was lying or are you saying Eric Brown was lying or are you wordly enough to realise there could have been differences in the Me-262 that Eric Brown tested vs. the TWO Me-262s that the TECHNICAL INTELLIGENCE (T-2 AMC) tested?


I think if you put aside your knee-jerk need to defend all things nazi for a moment.. And re-read what the TECHNICAL INTELLIGENCE (T-2 AMC) report stated about the Me-262 again.. You should note they did NOT say the Me-262 wasn't agile and or aerobatic..

The TECHNICAL INTELLIGENCE (T-2 AMC) report simply noted that when it comes time to put bullets on the target, at high speed, the hunting/snaking effect of the Me-262 would make that hard to do.. Which is why they used the term poor GUN PLATFORM.


Ah, good so Eric agrees with the TECHNICAL INTELLIGENCE (T-2 AMC) assessment that the Me-262 had a snaking problem


Agreed 100%

You know of shure the old 'joke' that intelligence and military are a oxymoron?

Be it as it may, i didn't say anything about the Me 262, i only cited Eric Brown, complete with source.

Of course there was a difference between the two 262 in the US of A and the one Eric Brown flew, the one flown by Eric Brown was maintenanced by germans who did know the plane.

Handling and control at various speeds
The handling characteristics were poor at all speeds above 350mph.

and

You should note they did NOT say the Me-262 wasn't agile and or aerobatic..

that is contradictory.

And for shure i don't have a 'knee jerk reaction' to defend all things nazi!!

I'm trying to counteract your bias that every german technology of that time embodies the nazi ideology and is therefore inferior to the technology of the so called free world.
