R-Bar Over Bielefeld, by Jim Laurier

On 2 November, 1944, B-24's of the 489th BG were sent to destroy the railroad marshalling yards at Bielefeld Germany. The bomber formation was surprised to encounter for the first time the new German jet fighters, the Messerschmitt Me-262, in one of the earliest jet attacks against U.S. heavy bombers. The jets were chased off by P-47's that were escorting the bombers and there were no losses on either side.
