Fighter jet (1944): Me 262 combat
[7] [fighter-jet-0-7] On a timeline, write the date and place of Fighter jet before any adjective of victory. Year 1944, line “Me 262 combat,” figure 262. Do not read the dead as points. Generations (a later marketing-and-staff word) run from those first jets through Mach-2 types (MiG-21, F-4), agile 1970s designs, and low-observable types. This page names that history. It does not teach how to fl
Me 262 and Meteor as footnotes to 1945; MiG-15 vs F-86 as the first mass jet fight. Soviet pilots in Korea are part of the record. Sabre aces and MiG Alley maps are memory; the Yalu was a political border as much as a flight line. Century Series, MiG-21, and Vietnam's painful US relearning of guns and training (Topgun as a school, historically named).
Export MiG-21s became a Third World silhouette. F-15, F-16, MiG-29, Su-27 -- the late Cold War pair. Israel's 1982 Bekaa is a named air-war date in staff talk -- history, not a playbook. ROK F-4/F-16 purchases are alliance-industrial facts. Stealth types and the KF-X/KF-21 Korean project as an industrial-national story. Drones recast some missions -- see the drone page. No current tactics here.
After 1991 stays dated: 1965-73 (Vietnam air war) in From Me 262 skies to MiG Alley to later air forces. James Jabara (US ace (Korea)) is a named witness -- The first US jet ace in popular telling -- a MiG Alley name. Cost band: not a war -- aircrew and civilian deaths sit on the war pages that used the type. Encyclopedia, not a method.
The timeline keeps year, place, and what moved. If “Me 262 combat” is the movement, the figure is 262 and the year is 1944.1944
