Me 262 Project T-Shirt

Few aircraft in history have fired the imagination like the Messerschmitt Me 262. Born of the desperate circumstances of war, this masterpiece of technology and innovation forever changed the face of aviation when it first appeared in the skies over Europe in 1944. Considering the short operational life of the aircraft in an already lost cause, the popularity of the Me 262 has endured with surprising fervour. Still, despite the obvious interest, none of these planes have taken to the skies in well over 50 years. The Me 262 Project was launched in 1993 with a single objective: to reproduce flying examples of the legendary Me 262. Production has been strictly limited to five aircraft: once these five are complete, no more will ever be produced, now or in the future. The aeroplanes are being manufactured as a continuation of the basic Me 262 design. In fact, they have even been assigned factory serial numbers drawn from the werknummern sequences used on the original 1945 production lines. This design features both the single-seat variant and the two-seater.
