The Spitfire Mark IV, the Hawker Tempest and the Gloster Meteor, were instrumental in the fight against the flying bomb. Apr 17, 2013 - By the time it came into service toward the end of war, the German fighter forces had been decimated and it became highly successful adversary of enemy troops and V1 Flying Bombs. Fighter Command therefore devised new attack techniques. Sep 30, 2008 - This new alloy called “Nimonic 80” allowed the jet engine's turbine parts, particularly the blades, to operate for long periods under tremendous stress, high heat and corrosive exhaust without deforming or melting. Folkestone was in the first AA zone of the flying bomb defences and during the attacks (July-September 1944) 26 flying bombs were destroyed on or over Folkestone and 602 were brought down just sea-wards. Jul 4, 2012 - Rushed into action in July 1944 to help counter the V1 threat, Britain's Gloster Meteor I was the first jet fighter to enter RAF service. On 4 August the Meteor scored its first V1 victory. This fighter was too late for active Gloster Meteor (in service July 1944) – The Gloster Meteor was not only the first jet aircraft to enter squadron service with the RAF, but was also teh only Allied jet aircraft to see operational service during World War 2. The RAF Meteor squadrons were mostly used to counter the threat from the 7,000 V1 flying bombs that Germany fired across the English Channel at Britian. This new alloy was superior to German aircraft was finally approved for the air force in July, 1944.
