Emergency Fighter Programとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Emergency Fighter Program (German: Jägernotprogramm, literally "Fighter Emergency Program") was the program that resulted from a decision taken in the first week of July 1944 by the Luftwaffe regarding the German aircraft manufacturing companies. It consisted in shifting production to defensive fighters, focusing primarily on production of the Messerschmitt Me 262A fighter versions, and also on developing advanced piston-engined fighters such as the Dornier Do 335. Production of bombers was severely curtailed, the only bombers allowed to continue in production after the edict was issued were those powered by jets, such as the Arado Ar 234, and newer jet bomber designs such as the Junkers Ju 287 and Heinkel He 343 were worked on fitfully in the last months of the war.
