The German aircraft production company called Heinkel built and flew the first successful jet plane, the "He 178", in 1939. Yet, another German company, Messerschmitt, was the first to put significant numbers of jet airplanes into the air, producing the successful "Me 262" as a fighter-aircraft that saw action in 1944 and 1945 during World War II.
