The Arado Ar 234 was a revolutionary aircraft of the Luftwaffe and the world's first mass-produced jet bomber. The B-2 version, powered by two Junkers Jumo 004 engines, entered service in 1944 and was capable of high speeds that often allowed it to evade Allied fighters. The machine was used for both tactical bombing and strategic reconnaissance, providing valuable information on Allied troop movements.
