This thread is a bit silly. There was only one jet fighter in WWII,
and that was the Me 262. Getting there too late for combat (P-80)
doesn't count. Chasing V-1s (Meteor) doesn't count. Being deemed
unsuitable for combat (P-59A) doesn't count. The only thing that
counts is shooting down enemy aircraft.

The Meteors did force down a Storch.... That's a little unfair, they
also made several strafing claims. They were too late to have any
significance, but this also applies (to a lesser extent) to the 262 as
you point out.
