The Messerschmitt Me 262 belongs to the concluding sequence of Jack Lieb’s color film, in which captured German military equipment is presented. The aircraft is part of an Allied exhibition in which, alongside the Me 262, the V2 rocket as well as other German aircraft types (Ju 290, Ju 388) were shown. The Me 262 was the world’s first operational jet aircraft and was deployed by the Luftwaffe from 1944 onwards; despite its technical superiority over Allied propeller-driven aircraft, it arrived too late and in too small numbers to alter the course of the war. Lieb’s color footage of this exhibition is a rare color document of Allied efforts to capture and record German advanced technology after the end of the war.
