Germans were the first who put Henri Coanda’s jet airplane into production and they called it Messerschmitt Me 262. It was the world’s first operational turbojet fighter aircraft. It was introduced in June 1944 in the German Luftwaffe. With a speed of 870km/h and a range of 1050kms, the airplane had a powerful success; it has destroyed 735 Allied airplanes while the Allies destroyed only 100 Messerschmitt Me 262 airplanes. However because it entered the battle in a critical moment, Messerschmitt Me 262 could not change the catastrophically situation that Germany was in. There is no doubt that if this aircraft would have been introduced in 1943 or even in January 1944, Germany would have won the war.
Since Romanians invented the jet plane and they were also important allies of Germany, they have received plans on how to develop the Messerschmitt Me 262.
In the following pictures you will see the Romanian version of Messerschmitt Me 262 produced in the I.A.R. factory from Brasov, a factory that has been created in 1925 and produced a lot of airplanes that fought along the German side against the communist Soviet beast! After the war ended because of the American intervention in supporting the Soviet Union, the Russian communists disabled the factory and turned it into a tractor factory. The equipment has been confiscated and it has been moved in Russia. Today the factory is located in Ghimbav in Russia and it is producing Puma helicopters after the European standards of quality.
