Thats really kind of stupid to want A/C in something like a Me-262 unless he plans on flying below 6000' or so all the time. Once you get up there, especially with jet performance, the outside air is plenty cool. Buzzing around in my friends Cessna 172 on a hot Kansas summer day, we easily needed cabin heat at altitude. That would be a lot of added weight and complexity to add an air conditioning system in a 1-2 seat jet. If you had a King Air and hauled people around, sure.
I could only have 1 piston powered WWII aircraft, I think it would have to be an Fw-190D-9 or Ta-152
If I could have only 1 jet of any kind or airplane for that matter, Hands down, no contest F-104S Starfighter but with the short VAN "turkey feather" augmentor that howls like a SOB
