The BAR was availible since WWI, a weapon that would have helped the Americans. Even so, America wasn't ready for any kind of air raids in 1940, so bombers escorted by 262's would have done lots of damage to the eastern seaboard. I don't know who would have won, but the war would come to American soil.

How much fuel can a 262 carry? Bomb the east coast? Kinda difficult to make a 1200+ mile journey (one way) with a craft whose range is around 650 miles
