When Nazi Germany collapsed in May 1945, hundreds of Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighters—history’s first true combat jets—were left abandoned across airfields in Europe. What followed was a secretive scramble between the Allies, each determined to seize the technology that could define the next era of warfare.
The United States launched Operation Lusty, collecting airframes and shipping them to Wright Field for intense testing. The British took several examples to Farnborough, examining every bolt and turbine. Meanwhile, the Soviets moved entire production lines east, copying the jet engines that would kick-start their own jet age.
Yet from nearly 1,500 Me 262s built, only a small handful survive today—most were scrapped, dismantled, or lost to time.
This is the untold story of how one of WWII’s most advanced weapons vanished, survived, and ultimately helped shape modern military aviation.
