    I grew up next to RAF Notholt which was a hurricane station during the war and I got used to spitfires, hurricanes and Lancaster's gathering there for London flyovers. One year they had a 109 and a Mustang fly in and it was awesome to see them all flying off together to an air show somewhere. You could hear the difference between the engine sounds. They all sounded and looked amazing. My dad, who fought in the war made a joke that the last time he heard that sound he was ducking for cover in a muddy ditch. He was impressed and I could see a tear in his eye. I'm so glad that both countries keep these amazing machines flying. ✌️❤️🇬🇧

    When you think about the fact that Germany was unable to obtain large quantities of high octane fuel during the war it is even more impressive that they were still able to get performance close or equal to the allied aircraft running 100 or even 130 octane. Say what you want about the Nazis but German engineering was superlative during those times. Beautiful plane.

    • @SvenTviking
      @SvenTviking 2 года назад +2

      Firstly, they could only achieve equal performance by using water/methanol and nitrous oxide injection with limited quantities of high octane fuel. This was on a limited amount of Bf109k. The Mustang equalled it’s performance with a smaller engine while the Spitfire XIV exceeded the k model performance in every way,
      As for German engineering, did the build a successful heavy bomber? Or a powered gun turret? Did they develop the Cavity Magnetron? Or the Atomic bomb? Nope.

    In 1964, Operation Steelpike I was an amphibious landing by the 2nd Marine Division in southern Spain. I was a 2d Lieutenant USMC, in command of a rifle platoon. As we prepared to conduct a helicopter assault over the beach, Spanish air force planes were in the air, including ME 109s and P 51 Mustangs. It was a thrill to see these warplanes operational. Subsequently, in 1965, while deployed to the Dominican Republic, I, and the other Marines in the same area, had the rare distinction of being strafed by P 51s being flown by the Dominican forces.
