A number of JET teachers have penned interesting or funny tomes based on their experiences. Dozens of the most frequently asked questions and their answers. Some general Japan and news links that may be of interest. The jets might be a useful addition for some roles but it needs to pretty short range.

More jets would be better for defensive missions, but not for offensive missions. Not just German jets but British and American jets were pretty dismal ranged planes at low level. The Ar held over Imp gal gallons in the internal fuel. But at low level it have only miles of range not radius and that is clean and not with one or two bombs.

Granted it is very difficult to shoot down. At 25, to 30,ft the range could be around double? Thumpalumpacus Tech Sergeant. I think that while earlier German development of jet tach could have prolonged the war somewhat, the fact that it was up against three huge economies on two fronts meant that there was no easy answer. The Axis still would have failed, but if the Luftwaffe had jets operational and in force while they still held air superiority in the early stage of the war, it would have forced the Allies to up their game.

So things would gave gotten quite interesting My personal problem is that the British and Americans struggled to solutions to jet problems through and Like the Martin XB that first flew in June of and went through 14 engines in 44 flights. The airframe development would have moved from the "get to it when we have time" stage to actual time and effort applied, the engine program would have changed from a political tool to a serious "make it happen" setting.

All at a time when resources were still at hand, the infrastructure was intact and factories weren't being pounded day and night. And to throw another "what if" in there - I think Germany "would have" had an easier time getting a turbine engine operational if they "would have" went with a centrifugal compressor.

Smaller, simpler and less parts. The He flew remarkably well with it's HeS8 engines, even though it was intended to ultimately be equipped with the HeS It's interesting that the HeS30 weighed less than pounds, but produced a thrust to weight ratio of 2.

Things got lot better much much better later on but it just a bit too good for the Germans to fix of their problems with a shooting war, materials shortages and so on and doing it years before the allies can solve the problems.
