I see that no civil discussion can take place here despite the fact
that you "adults" claim to cherish military aviation. So why all the
fuss about German aircraft, jets or otherwise?

We could discuss Allied centrifugal jets that lost out in the long
run. German engineers told them that in 1945.

GE was working on axial-flow jet engines before they switched to
centrifugal versions based on British designs.

But ignorant Americans choose to believe lies instead. When confronted
with the truth they hide behind sour words like "you lost the war",
"Yeager broke the sound barrier", "the US invented everything military
aviation wise postwar". All of this is nonsense. It is patriotic and
endearing to veterans of World War II but the opposite of reality.

Yeager didn't break the sound barrier? (Granted, it was just the first
time it had been done in level flight, but still...)
