The first jets used in worldwar 2



Jet aircraft made their first appearance in combat in World War II. By 1944 the German Luftwaffe committed three new types of jet or rocket fighter to combat operations. Besides the Me 262, the rocket fighter Me 163 "Komet" and the He 162 "Volksjäger" had become operational. The invention of the jets was a great advantage in war because the jets were much faster then ever before.
