- HISTORY ASPECTS:
- The Messerschmitt Me262A-1a was a revolutionary jet-powered fighter aircraft developed by the German Luftwaffe during World War II. One of the first operational jet fighters in the world, the Me262 saw service in the closing months of the war, primarily on the Western Front.
- The pilot of this specific Me262A-1a model is Generalleutnant Adolf Galland, who was a German Luftwaffe general and flying ace during World War II. Galland was a highly decorated pilot, with 104 victories to his name. He served as the General der Jagdflieger (General of Fighters) during the war, and was the commander of the famous JV 44, also known as “Galland’s Jet Squadron”, in 1945.
- The Me262A-1a was first used in combat in 1944 and proved to be a formidable opponent for Allied aircraft. However, it was plagued by technical issues and a lack of fuel and trained pilots. Despite this, the Me262 was able to achieve some successes, including shooting down a large number of bombers.
- This 1:72 scale model aircraft by Oxford Diecast is a detailed replica of the Me262A-1a flown by Galland in JV 44 in 1945. It is made with high-quality materials and finished with accurate markings and paint schemes, making it a perfect addition to any aviation enthusiast’s collection. With this model, you can own a piece of history and imagine the incredible speed and power of the Me262 as it flew through the skies during World War II.
