The Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe is the aircraft that ended the propeller era of fighter combat.
Powered by twin Junkers Jumo 004 turbojets, it became the world's first operational jet fighter in 1944, capable of outpacing Allied piston-engined fighters by more than 100 mph in level flight.
Engine reliability problems, material shortages and strategic misdirection limited what it could achieve, but the airframe itself changed aviation forever. Captured examples shaped American, Soviet and British jet development for the next decade.
A piece for enthusiasts who study the moment the jet age arrived, and recognise the engineering achievement that defined everything that followed.
NOTE: The exact placement of the design may vary from the images due to scaling for different t-shirt sizes and variations in the printing process.
