A new video is in early access! Why did the Germans switch to jet fighters like the Me 262 and He 162 over the Bf 109 or Fw 190? In this video I talk about the main reasons for this decision.

Thank you for your support - looking forward to your feedback, insights and comments!

Great video. I like the book-marked books on the shelf. Lots of good old fashioned research there! Maybe I missed it, but do you have a graph (or just the chart?) that shows the number of operational 109's vs. operational 262's as the war progressed?

The analysis circa 1943 is logically flawless. However, by mid 1944, it's not recognizing reality.
