Jg 7 The World's First Jet Fighter Unit 1944/1945

Formed in August 1944, Jagdgeschwader 7 was equipped with the revolutionary Me 262 jet fighter, which was faster than any aircraft in existence at the time. This unit experienced all of the highs and lows associated with the introduction of such a radically new design. Thus the history of JG 7 is also the story of the Me 262, an inspired design which broke new ground in many areas of technology, and for which there was simply not enough time for thorough development. Manfred Boehme has collected many documentary sources including first hand accounts, technical records and photo archives.Boehme, Manfred is the author of 'Jg 7 The World's First Jet Fighter Unit 1944/1945' with ISBN 9780887403958 and ISBN 0887403956.
