Tuesday, July 1, 2008 7-8pm — Battle Stations – Messerschmitt 262: Race for the Jet.
By mid-1944, the World War II Allied forces were regularly flying raids of 1,000 bombers over Germany escorted by US Mustangs and Lightnings. But in July 1944, a new German fighter appeared on the scene, flying at over 100 mph and capable of destroying a B-17 in a single pass. It was the jet-powered Messerschmitt 262. Using detailed color reenactments and interviews, we take the viewer inside the cockpits of the German pilots who flew this wonder weapon and the US fighters who learned how to defeat it.
