  we were so close to the Axis winning
  
  the Japanese had a strategic bomber which could fly faster than any allied fighter, flying from Japan to the US and back..
  
  they had jets which put the ME262 to shame

  Having the technology to build a couple of prototype 'superbombers' is one thing.
  
  Having the raw materials and production capacity to build them in deployable numbers large enough to turn the tide of the war is another.
  
  Japan was already hurting for raw materials towards the war's end.
  
  In Germany's case, the ME262 did see combat service, but, like Japan, it was too little too late.
  
  Don't believe everything you see and hear on THC. Some of the documentaries aired on it are real hack jobs.

  well, there are prototypes which the allies captured
  
  the japanese fellas went to unca joe to buy time too...
  
  'sides, if they had built those jets, the B-29s would be blown outta the air

  You mean the F-4F Wildcat?
  
  That plane was essentially obsolete at the beginning of WW2, and was lost in considerable numbers during the early Pacific campaigns against the Japanese.
