Probably the best and most capable aircraft of WWII ..

Was this baby really in action or just a protoype?

Surely no allied fighter could mess with this one...

Some got caught going too slow.

Anything is voulnerable at some point.

The Ar234 could fly faster and higher than any allied fighter.

Read this.

I believe they even were part of the Remagen raids.

Yes, as well as bomb toting Me-262's

He219 · 04-05-2007, 02:39 PM

Granted they both didn't fare well as divebombers.

One of my favorite Robert Taylor prints...

yeah they took part in the remagen raid

but i believe that they where more designed for photo reconnaissance missions

and later where adapted for dive bombing ground targets and attacking allied bombers.

supposed to attack the B 29 superfortress at great alltitude also if the war had progressed further
