German technology was used for US advancement during the Cold War.
The US's work with German-powered aircraft and bombs was vital to the success of fitting US work during the Cold War. The work of the US to make this technology test started with the JB-2 Loon, a direct replica of the V-1 Buzz Bomb. The JB-2 was “However, it provided invaluable experience to U.S. Navy and Army Air Force (and later, Air Force) personnel in the handling of missiles.” The work of jet aircraft from German hands started with two significant examples: the Arado AR 234, the first German jet bomber, and the US used these captured aircraft. We modified them to test the technology on jet-powered aircraft before they had jet-powered bombers. The Americans worked on the design by testing. “ After receiving new engines and replacement radio and oxygen equipment, FE-1010 was flown to Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, in July 1946 and transferred to the Accelerated Service Test Maintenance Section (ASTMS) of the Flight Test Division.” Then the use of the Messerschmitt Me 262 in the US hands was vital to the improvement of the US current first jet fighter the F-80 Starfighter. The US sent the Me 262 for the “testing process, the standard fighter nose on FE-111 was swapped for a reconnaissance nose removed from FE-4012, a Messerschmitt Me 262A-la/U3. This aircraft was sent to the Hughes Aircraft Company for rebuilding and comparison with the Lockheed XP-80.”
