	Messerschmitt Me 262 Tony Weddel. In January 1945, an elite fighter unit was formed using the Me 262 and many of Germany's remaining veteran pilots. Designated JV 44, it was led by General Adolf Galland, the famous ace who had led Germany's fighter arm. One of the more active days for JV 44 was April 7, 1945, in which 15 American heavy bombers were lost, most of them to the German jets. This scene shows a pass by Me 262s of JV 44 against American B-24s, which resulted in the loss of two bombers, though an Me 262 was heavily hit. 23"x 19" print. #0008516 Price: $19.95 Add this product to your shopping cart
