If you guys enjoy Eric Brown's books you will certainly enjoy a History Channel film available on YouTube called "Luftwaffe 1946" with much footage I had not seen previously.
There's quite a bit on the ME 262 (which Eric Brown holds in very high regard, except for its very high SE safety speed, 180, mph, even worse than the Meteor and Canberra, 160mph ).
As an aside, last Sunday I saw a letter from a Mr Williams, a British MOS official to Frank Whittle. This letter, dated 1937, and subsequent , suggests that German development of their gas turbine engines, was based on British, Whittle, research which was leaked due to poor security. (as a result of initially poor British Government interest in the jet concept) This means, according to a letter from Frank Whittle's son, that ALL current gas turbine engines, world wide, can trace their lineage back to the basic Whittle design. This letter is considered to be one of the most important ever written concerning engineering.
The letters are on display in the RAF club in London.
