Re: Bombers on the Wing

I think this would be the appropaite place to ask this... where there any jet bombers? I know almost everyone had some plans, did any even get off the drawning board?

Re: Bombers on the Wing

The Me262 was used as a fighter bomber, not sure if any others actually saw action.

Re: Bombers on the Wing

The Arado 234 would be another, but I would really consider this a Recon aircraft that could have a couple of small bombs strapped to it.

That was Adolf's bright idea. The Luftwaffe was in desperate need of an interceptor the likes of the Me262, so he insisted diverting it toward bomber duties.
