Blazing Combat #4

An officer of the JV-44 Commando Fighter Group gathers around his plane and was reminded that, back in 1938, that General Galland took up the ME-262 for a test flight, and he was impressed. But Hitler was not impressed and only viewed the plane as a blitz bomber, not a fighter, thus destroying its effectiveness, and slowing the plane down enough to be shot down by enemy fighters. Thus, the plane never realized its full potential, and because it was so late in the war, which was as good as lost, the officer is ordered to set fire to his plane.
