Totally innaccurate. Why aren't those B-17s banking 80 degrees and dogfighting?
;)

If you read the text for the picture, it does say:
In this brief, poignant cameo, the outcome is indecisive: The B-17 has lost part of its tailplane which will make handling difficult on the way home. But its gunners, undeterred by the fearsome attack, are laying a wall of lead in the path of the enemy jet. The Luftwaffe pilot will be lucky to escape unscathed. In the distance more Me262s are diving into the fray, but shortly, 8th Air Force fighters will storm storming into the arena. The Fortress crews will not by short of guardians in the return journey to England.
Geesh, as you can see, those 262s weren't the silver bullets people seem to think they'd be.

Well it's a painting not a photo . Have you ever noticed that in many aviation paintings the aircraft are very close together, much closer than they would be in real life . The reason for this is clear, to fit as much aircraft into the space available . Otherwise most paintings would have one big aircraft and a small one off 200 meters in the distance .
