| Boyd Kidd Las Vegas, NV | the Me-262A-1b is the Jabo configuration reflection that
the aircraft is a close air support Attack Fighter. The primary difference is the installation of 24 each 55mm Rockets, 12 under each wing. Each FFAR (Folding Fine Atk Rkt)has a an HE Explosive Warhead used in attacking gound installations. Me-262A-1b (Jabo) is not considered a Fighter in the general sense...it is not for attacking other aircraft but, to attack the enemy on the ground. 12/05/2004 @ 18:51 [ref: 8792] |
| Earl Brown Alexandria, VA, VA | In "The Aircraft of the National Air & Space Museum", third edition, Walter Boyne describes the museum Me262 as Me-262A-1a, not 1b.
