The P-51 Pilot Who Shot Down a Jet With Propellers

November 1944: A P-51 Mustang pilot was supposed to be helpless against Germany's revolutionary Me-262 jet fighter that could outrun anything the Allies possessed. Instead, Captain Chuck Yeager caught the future-technology aircraft at its most vulnerable moment and proved that superior tactics could still defeat superior speed. The 21-year-old West Virginian became known as "The Jet Killer" - the pilot who showed that propeller-driven determination could triumph over jet-powered innovation. This is the story of how American pilot skill and perfect timing turned the first prop-versus-jet encounter into aviation history. *Sources:* • Chuck Yeager Combat Reports, 357th Fighter Group Archives • "Yeager: An Autobiography" by Chuck Yeager and Leo Janos, Bantam Books (1985) • 357th Fighter Group Combat Mission Reports, National Archives, College Park • "The Right Stuff" by Tom Wolfe, Farrar, Straus and Giroux (1979) • P-51 Mustang Technical Manual, North American Aviation Corporation • Me-262 Operational Records, German Federal Archives, Freiburg • "Fork-Tailed Devil: The P-38" by Martin Caidin, Ballantine Books (1971) • Kommando Nowotny Unit History, Luftwaffe Historical Archives • "Mustang: The P-51 Fighter in World War II" by William N.
