The Painting: Because of the incredible speed of the Me 262, head-on attacks on bombers was not the normal tactic; however, it did happen. this scene is based on an incident when Major Rudi Sinner was III Gruppenkommandeur of JG 7 and a head-on attack on B-24's from the 448th BG. Sinner shot down one B-24 and it collided with another bomber.

In our quest to find new and exciting unbpublished photos on aircraft, we combed Europe for new photos of Me 262's. The pickings are very slim. What a thrill to find this small, poor quality photo of this most interesting machine. Flown by the Gruppenkommandeur of the III Gruppe, it was photographed at the time when the WGr21 cm rockets were being tested, which did not work on the Me 262, but it makes an interesting variation.
