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.
我想提一下,我在43年5月首先乘坐了262。 这时,飞机是完全秘密的。 我只是在42年初才知道这架飞机的存在-即使在我的位置。 这架飞机在设计或生产上没有任何优先权。
I made a written report which is still today in existence. I have a photocopy of it, and I am saying that in production this aircraft could perhaps substitute for three propeller- driven aircraft of the best existing type. This was my impression.
我写了一份书面报告,至今仍然存在。 我有它的影印本,我是说在生产中,这架飞机也许可以替代三架现有最佳类型的螺旋桨飞机。 这是我的印象。
If we would have had the 262 at our disposal - even with all the delays - if we could have had in '44, ah, let's say three hundred operational, that day we could have stopped the American daytime bombing offensive, that's for sure.
如果我们可以拥有262枚弹药-即使有所有延误,如果我们可以在'44弹药,啊,假设有300枚弹药,那一天我们可以制止美国的白天轰炸攻势,这是肯定的。
