Potentially, the War Winning Aircraft
One tide-turning decision that affected the outcome of WWII was Hitlers insistence that Messerschmitts ME262 jet be developed as a bomber not a fighter. By the time the Axis High Command convinced him otherwise, it was too late. Rushed to delivery in May 1944, the ME262 had superior speed (540 mph) and weaponry (4 30mm MK108 cannons and 24 55mm R4M rockets), but lacked the quality control needed. The dual Jumo turbojets were unreliable causing engine failure and fires, the MK108s constantly jammed and the landing gear often collapsed.
