field_t_remark

Ar 234 V5 was the first aircraft of the small production series to be used operationally during the Allied Liberation of France in 1944. It would be lost after a series of unfortunate circumstances culminated with a ground collision with a Focke Wulf 190 which was attempting a take-off. Ironically, the first German operational jet powered aircraft, and the first in the world, was shot down by the Germans and then destroyed by a German fighter plane! V5 was fitted with Jumo 004 B-0 engines.
