Let me specify. Dead end for high performance fighter aircraft.

Honestly the 262 would have been better off with the british engines mounted in a similar way, sure they were a bit fatter but they were more reliable and produced alot of power, the Meteor was no slouch, it took some time before axial flow compressors became particularily good, whereas the centrifugal compressor is unchanged to this day

No? The Russians and the Japanese had quite some fun before WW2 in this regard.
Or do you, in typical anglo saxon manner, consider Britian "the rest of the world"?

Local incursions hardly constitute world war and Japan ended up as part of the Axis anyway.
Anglo Saxon....isn't the Saxon part from Germany anyway? does that mean were the same?
