I once read a collection of accounts of Me262 pilots during the war. They described when diving through a formation of allied bombers, sometimes the aircraft would become hard to control, buffet a lot then the flight would smooth out and they were flying very very fast. But too fast to get an accurate aim on the bombers. This sounds like the Luftwaffe beat the Americans by several years.
