Me-262 Training Film (1944)
Luftwaffe Flight training film (1944).of the ME-262. - This is a pretty amazing find buried deep on Google's Video site. According to the description on the video: The original audio is long since gone. However, the replaced narration is that of Franz Steigler, who flew the plane and watched the film during the war. The film, which is 46 minutes, is an extraordinary piece of primary source material for understanding the revolutionary leap in technology that occurred at the end of World War II. I watched it transfixed on the amazing history found in this video. What unfolds below is really a demonstration of the fragility of the first jet fighter and its clear tendency to overheat. As you watch the film, I would recommend putting it in direct contrast to the P-51 training video from 1942 that was posted here several weeks ago. The cultural similarities and differences in training pilots makes for an amazing piece of history

In visiting the exhibition, the public will go through all the collections of the Museum. Visitors will discover original and amusing showcases of items of the collections and how they are reflected in the comic strips.
