MESSERSCHMITT ME-262 The Official Luftwaffe Pilot Check-Out Film
Narrated by Luftwaffe jet ace Oberleutnant Franz Stigler.

This historic film footage was actually employed by the Luftwaffe to initiate their ace pilots to the Messerschmitt ME-262 jet fighter. While some cuts from this film may have been previously seen, it is believed that this entire uncut version has not been viewed since April 1945 at the Lechfeld Luftwaffe 262 training base in Germany. Using actual Luftwaffe pilots and ground crew, the film briefs the student pilot on the 262's flight controls and instrumentation.

Experience your first solo flight in the legendary ME-262 exactly as the new pilots of that era did. Learn how to start the turbines, inject fuel and ignite it. Understand your jet's revolution thresholds, landing gear and electrical systems. By the time you finish watching this rare piece of real history, you'll feel qualified enough for your first solo flight in the machine.

There are several training films, 1 I had only seen bits and pieces of 15 years ago and then just 5 years ago at Chino Air Museum which is this film actually.

Franz Stigler was an ace in Bf 109G equipped JG 27. He was asked to come over to Galland's JV 44 Me 262 unit where he became the Technical Offizier. Franz flew Gallands weiße 3 on two occasions but never scored any kills with the 262.
Franz still lives in Canada.
The training film was done as an re-inactment with crews of Kommando Nowotny
