"Well the Me-163 was rocket powered not jet. And the Italians had some research in it too.
And the Italian CC 2 made what people thought was to be the world’s first jet powered flight in May 28, 1940. But then it was long after the war when records and documents showed that a He 178 made the first flight with a true jet engine the year before."
Thats why I said people THOUGHT it was.
