The Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe ("Swallow") was a German aircraft, the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft.[4] It was produced in World War II and saw action starting in 1944 as a multi-role fighter/bomber/reconnaissance/interceptor warplane for the Luftwaffe. The Me 262 claimed a total of 509 Allied kills[5] (although higher claims are sometimes made[Notes 1]) against the loss of about 100 Me 262s. Considered the most advanced German aviation design in operational use[7] and according to some Allied historians it was an aircraft that might have won air supremacy back to the Luftwaffe, it had a negligible impact on the course of the war due to its late introduction and the small numbers in service.[8] The Me 262 influenced the designs of post-war aircraft such as the North American F-86 and Boeing B-47.

That reminds me of a joke:

A WWII pilot was addressing a grade school class about his flying days. "I was at 10,000 feet and that f*cker came directly out of the sun and strafed my right side" The kids all giggled. "The he came about and the f*cker came up behind me and took out my right engine" The kids all giggled again. The teacher interrupted and told the students, "I believe he is talking about the enemy plane, it was a Folker, right Mr James." "No Ma'mm, that SOB was in a Messerschmitt!"
