"he Who Wants To Protect Everything, Protects

I Would Like To Mention That I Have Flown The 262 First In May ‘43. At This Time, The Aircraft Was Completely Secret. I First Knew Of The Existence Of This Aircraft Only Early In ‘42 - Even In My Position. This Aircraft Didn’t Have Any Priority In Design Or Production.

For The First Time I Was Flying By Jet Propulsion. No Engine Vibrations. No Torque And No Lashing Sound Of The Propeller. Accompanied By A Whistling Sound, My Jet Shot Through The Air. Later When Asked What It Felt Like, I Said, "it Felt As Though Angels Were Pushing".

To Use A Fighter As A Fighter-bomber When The Strength Of The Fighter Arm Is Inadequate To Achieve Air Superiority Is Putting The Cart Before The Horse.

When I Was Fired From My Post As General Of The Fighter Arm, I Was To Give Proof That This Jet Was A Superior Fighter. And That's When We Did It. I Think We Did It.

According To Goering And The Luftwaffe High Command, They Were Supposed To Be The Fighter Elite.
