Ernst Heinkel's HE-280

[AApache]

One of Hitler's top developer's Ernst Heinkel came up with the HE-280 in 1939. The HE-280 was the primary competition of the ME-262. Metzerschmidt was Heinkel's primary competition in developing Hitler's air war. The ME-262 beat the HE-280 into production because it was mainly a short range jet fighter such as the ME-163. The HE-280 was recorded to have sustained flights from 500 - 800 MPH . After the Battle of Britian in 1944 when Hitler's Luftwaft took a major beating by allied planes where spitfires shot down over 600 axis planes .Hitler hid his ME-262's ,ME-163's and a few test HE-280's in the woods along the roadside of the autobon in which he used for a runway.HE-280's would make a nice addition to the jet family here at Hitec.

I guess you can't read Pooface I did say the battle of Britian was in 1944 in my post . So no my source of info is not off your reading is but no worry .It was a simple observance about an interesting plane but to recieve such trollish replies and I quote is simply not worth the time.

oh, and to add, there was no such thing as an autobahn, especially in france where you say hitler hid his 262's and 163's in the woods. oh, and of course the supersonic jet from 1944;)

Yeh there was it's called a dirt road:No actually there was.

Within six years after the completion of the first Cologne-Bonn autobahn in 1932, Germany added 3,000 kilometers (1,860 miles) of super highway to its road network. Although Hitler has often been given credit for the autobahn, the real precursors were the Avus experimental highway in Berlin (built between 1913 and 1921) and Italy's 130-kilometer autostrada tollway between Milan and the northern Italian lakes (completed in 1923). Although Germany’s depressed economy and hyperinflation of the late 1920s prevented plans for new autobahns from being carried out at the time, many miles of roadway were built during the time of the Third Reich. Hitler saw the construction of autobahns primarily as a military advantage; its benefit as a job-creation program in the 1930s was an added plus.

i wonder if he will be shocked when he learns that the Battle of Britain took place before America entered the war?

in his source the Battle of Britain took place after the normandy landings
