| Note | Caption title. Includes bibliographical references (p.179). "Brief history of Luftwaffe's effort to increase number of jet fighters by retraining bomber pilots for fighter tasks. Therefore IX.Fliegerkorps(J) was based under Dietrich Peltz command and several KG units were transformed into KG(J), but only KG(J) 54reached regular operational status and was sent into action. It was transferred to Prague in April 1945 and together with JG 7 and fragments of KG(J) 6 saw final battles over Bohemia, Germany and at Prague. ... It is quite unusual in historical research o f WWII aircraft to have an opportunity to touch real peace of history described. It is the case of Me 262A, "Black X" of KG 51 which was fighting from Prague in May 1945, then left to Fassberg to surrender and to be finally preserved at Australian War Memorial at Canberra. It allowed us to provide extensive documentation of research realized in the 80s as well as up to date conditions. Although not directly connected with actions over Czech territory the description of Me 262B productions is included."-- Publisher website. |
