Formed in August 1944, Jagdgeschwader 7 was equipped with the
revolutionary Me 262 jet fighter, which was faster than any aircraft in
existence at the time. This unit experienced all of the highs and lows
associated with the introduction of such a radically new design. Thus
the history of JG 7 is also the story of the Me 262, and inspired design
which broke new ground in many areas of technology, and for which there
was simply not enough time for thorough development. The pilots of JG 7
frequently had to make do with improvisation and faced a numerically
far superior enemy in an aircraft which was technically immature.
