The Messerschmitt Me262A‑1A/2A represents the primary production variant of the world’s first operational jet fighter.

Designed as a fighter‑bomber, the A‑1A variant fulfilled Hitler’s directive for a multi‑role jet capable of interception and ground‑attack missions.

Armed with powerful nose‑mounted cannons, the Me262 delivered devastating firepower against USAAF bomber formations.

Its offensive capability was further enhanced by the addition of R4M Orkan (Hurricane) rockets, mounted under each wing on simple wooden racks.

Each wing carried twelve stabilised rockets, each capable of destroying a bomber with a single hit.
