In a REAL technical way (I mean REALLY technical), the first jet-to-jet
kill occured at the end of World War II when a British jet (the Gloster
Meteor?) flew alongside a German jet bomber, slipped its port wing
under the German's starboard wing, then banked hard right.  This tipped
the German's wing upward so much that it lost control and crashed!
Weird, huh?  Source: "Fighting Jets" by Time/Life Books.
