Adolf Galland

I would like to mention that I have flown the 262 first in May '43. At this time, the aircraft was completely secret. I first knew of the existence of this aircraft only early in '42 - even in my position. This aircraft didn't have any priority in design or production.

It's unbelievable what one squadron of twelve aircraft did to tip the balance.

I could not claim them because I was not supposed to be flying in combat.
