Bf 109 G-4 “Black 1” with an Original Daimler-Benz DB 605 Engine

- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Some footage I put together of Bf 109 G-4 "Black 1" taken during Warbirds Over the Beach at the Military Aviation Museum in Virginia. I'm sorry the video quality isn't the best as I recorded everything with my phone.
I think its utterly astonishing that any of these aircraft are flying given how impossibly valuable they are, how incredibly expensive and difficult to restore, and how rare.
I'm very thankful that owners of these precious treasures even let them fly so we may all experience the sight, sound, and feeling of them in operation.
I'm thankful I'm still alive during a time when there are still a few good men around. (And here I'm not only referring to the pilot but to all the crew and others who've made this video possible)
thats the incentive
Lots of money and the willingness to part with it. God bless em. They’re awesome people.
Even more when realizing that the BF109 is the most produced fighter aircraft in history with close to 34.000 units produced. I would spend a fortune to get a hand on a original Daimler Benz DB 605 engine with that howling compressor.
Beautiful aircraft, engine sound is remarkable
Hans forgot to tighten the spark plugs according to manual specifications. Plane dosent like and missfires!
JK I love this plane, and that people still put so much effort on them that others can watch and LISTEN to the original MUSIC! Thank you!
@@bumblebob5979 I didn't hear misses
'remarkable' ... I noticed lol
The German original 109 passed over my office a few weeks ago, here in Celle, northern Germany. I picked up the sound and immediately ran outside, looked up and there she was in all her beauty. That supercharger whistle is so tell-tale.
Wow, look at the lineup of planes, I couldn’t believe it as the camera panned, fantastic.
That 109 pilot must have been tempted to strafe the whole line-up. BRRRRRTTTT!!!
😉
Seriously, good God. My brain creamed its pants.
@@jerryjeromehawkins1712 hahaha right? The old trigger finger still twitching
Yep all thanks to Mr. Jerry Yagen and the Military Aviation Museum / Fighter Factory staff and volunteers. Mr. Yagen is dedicated to perfection to say the least. His people are the best in the business! Superb flying collection.
Exactly my thoughts too. An amazing collection!
It's interesting to see the swastika on the tailplane. Despite what it stands for, I believe that historical accuracy must be maintained.
very interesting, true? Seems like you did not see one in a german plane.
@@Big1_ Restrictions in Germany.... Sad. This video may even be not available there, 'flagged for nazi-symbols'.
@@vangestelwijnen Great thing: This video not blocked here in Germany. :)
Give a Fu** for this fuc*** Symbol...
Greetings from Germany
There is a FW-190A at the technology museum in Swetsengein Germany and the aircraft still has the swastika on the tail!. There is a big difference between historical correct, and glorifying the NSDAP!.
No music or narration - just the sound of a lovely aircraft!! Beautiful clip!! 👍
Second that
THIS is some proper sound for these machines! Thank you for presenting this with no stupid editing software "music", and getting full-range sound. I can feel the exhaust!
I believe I can smell it also along with the oil, hydraulics av gas and other fine perfumes of the day.
The whistle from the supercharger, the flames from the exhaust. Btw, nice landing, with their small landinggear width they are not easy to land, they were notorious for landing crashes with unexperienced pilots.
Yes indeed, especially as training for new pilots had to be curtailed because of wartime contingencies, but the 109 was still the choice of the ‘experten’ up to the last days of the war, including Hartmann with 352 victories.
They also notorious for ground looping on take off.
Particularly the later models
@@drstrangelove4998 Yes my understanding is the same. The 190 may technically have been a superior plane, but when you're going up against uncertain conditions (altitudes, odds et al) with your life on the line one tends to choose that which one is entirely comfortable in and one knows will respond 'right' to every hard earned flying skill you've acquired that you will bring to the table.
Edit: And the 'table' of surviving the last part of the War was tricky business indeed.
@@drstrangelove4998 Btw, and I don't recollect the dates or the General's name, but during the latter part of the War Galland flew North for that general's bday party. On the way back he made a detour over Britain and if memory serves shot down two spitfires. Imagine he'd had a little champagne and felt the need for some action. His plane choice for that trip: a Bf 109
@@emansnas Could well just be a random myth but... interesting story nevertheless.
What a cool plane. They even allowed original markings.
Of course, this is not a dictatorship or Merkel goverment.
Wait until RUclips algo kicks in.
That is such a beautiful sound. I can only imagine how it must've sounded with a sky full during the war. Like a choir. Absolutely beautiful to look at and hear.
Thank you!!
When in war it sounds like terror.
I was walking out of an hotel room in Sacramento about 25 years ago, (don't ask ) and a flight of, I think, 4 P-51s and a 2 B-25s were heading to Mcllellan, A.F.B. You could feel it on your chest. It was almost better than the Blue Angels!
Warbirds over the Beach! Probably the most impressive collection of flying, historical, military aircraft on the east coast. I've been to that museum a couple of times now.
Love the footage and would like to mention the amount of other planes there: Aircobra, Hurricane, Corsair, Hellcat, Fw.190, Yak-3, Spitfire, Mustang, Warhawk, Po-2, and the rest, which names are unknown to me, not to mention the star of the video - Bf 109.
Not a Hellcat. But a Wildcat by the location of the wings.
@@steveb6103 thanks, I often mess up the distinctions
@@MDzmitry And not to forget the undercarriage.
@@MDzmitry I have my dad's identification cards from WW2. There in a shutter device that only gives you a split second to see the card. I grew up with it.
I think that Mustang was itching to get on it's tail !!!
The G-4 was the last version of the Bf-109 without all the imperfections added to the fuselage to fit in new or upgraded gear. The G-6s were nicknamed "Beule" (or, bump, in German) because after that, it was one raised fairing after another in nose, wings and fuselage...
Some of us like them lady lumps 😏
Stiglr from WB 2.xx/AGW?
@@1SaG And Targetware. The self-same.
To be honest, from a design standpoint I really like the Buldgywolgies :D
I believe the raised part on the nose to allow for feeding of the MG131
(13.2mm). Previous models used Mg17 (7.92mm)
It may not be documentary quality video, but you captured something even more valuable . . . The sweet sound of that DB 605 and the whine of the supercharger! Well done!
I love the sound of these engines, the flaming exhaust, the whistling superchargers, wonderful machinery!
The engine sounded so relaxed under power. You listen to the Merlins and the Alisons and you can hear an urgency in their engine notes.
And what a difference, an engine with mechanical fuel injection that could be reache high power with gasoline as normal as cars used to burn...
@Captain Blacktooth I have a book about the Spitfire that describes a frequent fail that leeds to change of Merlin engine due to a tendency to deform the axis..
@@kkteutsch6416
Germán engine had a greater displacement, and the precious fuel injection.
But the smaller Merlin engine had readily available 100 octane fuel, compared to 87 octane for Luftwaffe. You could get more power per pound from the Merlin.
If I recall later Merlin’s even used 150 octane.
Fuel was supplied by America, me thinks.
@@falconeaterf15 150 Octane!? Whow! How could this be achieved?
@@Felix-fy7ki I believe the yanks work with a different measurement system. Like what temperature is either measured in Celsius or Fahrenheit
A 109 with its original DB engine is a thing of beauty. Lovely to hear one with its original "voice" for a change.
Awesome to see one fly with the original engine, most you see in movies are the more numerous Merlin powered variant built by the Spanish post-war.
You can thank 3D printing and computerized machine tools a being able to produce the parts that were unavailable
What a fantastic selection of aircraft on that flightline.
WOW, fantastic and thank you for sharing this.
I'm amazed at how small those planes are, especially with an almost 2000hp V12 engine!
No bigger really than a General Aviation SEL of today. Of course they weighed considerably more - their function required extra strength and shall we say 'specialized equipment'.But yes high end high powered aerial sports cars of the day - each with its own idiosyncrasies that one who wanted to live learned to pay attention to.
A design goal for the 109 was to fit as much power as possible in a frame as small as possible. Not everyone went this route, for instance a P-47 is quite considerably larger.
@@aurigo_tech Due in no small part to the fact that it has a radial and not an inline engine
@@solanine9205 Yes, but the Fw 190 also had a radial and was still considerably smaller than a P-47. For a P-47 things like a much larger tank were important so they had to be larger. My point was just that not all ww2 fighters were as compact as a 109, for many reasons.
I got to see this beautiful bird up close when I saw it on the field at the VA Beach air museum. One of the curators told me they got it from the Spanish Air Force because it served in the SFA. Even though Spain was neutral they still bought BF-109s, Mausers, etc. from the Germans.
They even have a real, captured German V-1 Buzz Bomb on display too!
Everyon who is a WW1 and WW2 Buff NEEDS to go there!
I hope you know that the Me109s in the Spanish Air Force had RollsRoyce-Merlin engines. They where called "Buchon" . The story is this. During the war Spain purchased the 109s from Germany. They germans delivered the complete airframes . but without the engines. Probably they should have come in a second batch of delivery. But Germany never send those engines (they where in short supply in those times) . So after the war Spain had a bunch of new 109s without engines. So they asked the Brits. Made a deal for Merlin-engines et voila , the "Buchon" was born. The 109 in the video is one of them , reconverted to the original configuration by its new owner.
PS , they did something similar to the HE 111 in Spain. The HE111 was license build in Spain under the denomination CASA2111 and was fitted also with Merlin-engines. When you see the Movie "Battle of Britain" you see half of the Spanish Airforce in action , painted with swastikas .
ME109..Nothing like an inverted V12, twin radiators, Methonol or Nitrious oxide boost, 3 prop blade, cannon armament, and fuel injection. The 'Jerry's had it right in the day.
Do you think a four blade prop would have increased performance?
3 bladed prop has a broader cord per blade which has more mass than 4 individual blades, so's my guess is the difference is negligeble.
@@r2gelfand I think, educated guess, that 3 or 4 blades is not for performance but for balance. Only last decades they go on composite with fancy designs which made performance going up. One of the biggest problems was the speed of the tips (super sonic), that’s also where the 4 blades come into place, less rotation speed, less speed at the tips, less problems with vibrations.
Best to go over to Greg’s airplanes and cars for more details on WWII prop technology. He’s extremely detailed and informative on that era aircraft.
Lets put it in a different way with a radial engined plane - the 3 bladed prop/Nitrious oxized boosted late war variant Focke Wolf F190-TA152 could fly for short intervals at 472 mph at an astounding 42,000 feet. The 30mm cannon in the nose would make me grow grey hair instantly as a rear tail gunner or ball turret gunner.
The sound these piston engines make is freaking awesome. Growling
Looking and sounding all business. Excellent G4 and thanks for No music & narration.
Visited this museum in sept 2021. I can not recommend this place as a destination more highly. Was well worth the drive out of the way. I will go back in the future as well. All last years on Saturdays they flew a couple different planes. Hope they do it again this year.
Now I understand Gunter Rall’s love for the G. Truly priceless and amazing. Aviation wanderlust. Please please keep this alive!!!!!
Everbody Gangster until a Bf 109 shows up. This is the meanest, most fitting and beautiful sound an engine could possibly make. So fitting.
This is what the Grim Reapers chariot would sound like if he ever rolled into town.
A beautiful symphony of death
Quite a flight line along that grass runway! Many fantastic planes there!
lmao this is MAM, The museum i volunteer at. Always nice to see videos of the place I basically work at every weekend on my youtubes recommended.
i just to say.. this is so so beautiful !!
My favorite warbird, awesome DB605 motor sound. Thanks you for such a beautiful show.🇪🇦💚🇺🇲
I would love to see this. This era aircraft are by far my favorite, to see all of those beautiful planes together would be incredible.
I’m so glad someone had the foresight to preserve these machines.
Wow. Amazing, that they managed it to restore it to that outstanding good condition. Nice filmed and the sound was very good. Thumbs up! :)
+ megatwingo This one is based from Spanish Buchon that was gotten from a trade with the USAF Museum about 20 years ago.
@@FiveCentsPlease
Thank you for that information. Very interesting. It looks so much better with the original motor.
I love the sound of the DB-605 engine. 👍
Oh God...... the sound, the gorgeous sound....
The fact that all these planes in the lineup are not only original and functional, but still flying, makes me a special kind of happy.
its like every plane I spend hours every day playing with in Arcade Battles
Awesome fighter! And this DB-sound...Music to my ears 😊
that lineup is the most insane thing about this vid
This is Ear candy 🍭. Very nice sound and that turbo kicks in at the right time as the ME-109 flys by just amazing ear candy.
That DB 605 sounds incredible.
Beautiful Historical Machines !
I'm thankful I'm still alive during a time when there are still a few good men around. (And here I'm not only referring to the pilot but to all the crew and others who've made this video possible)
wow this is so incredible. those planes though during take off, the yak 4, p51, the corsair, the p48, p38, the spitfire!!! and more!!
Bro I was there, it's a hell of an airshow with reanactors, food, and live swing bands.
Best sounding WW2 engine and under rated.
who said it was underrated?
Yeah, underrated is an overused term on the internet. I don't think anyone in the history of aviation warfare would call the 109 underrated.
Nothing underrated about the 109, it was the biggest killer in aviation history, it created the highest scoring Aces and the most Aces period.
Underrated by whom? Dimwits?
Maybe it's underrated in War Thunder, that might be it.
This short clip shows so much more than the 109, all appearing to be beautifully restored. I’d love to see and hear them in flight.
Had the pleasure of seeing an Me109 with a db605 engine many years ago near Niagara Falls ,Ontario.....it belonged to a chap ,I believe his name was Ed Russell....he acquired quite a collection of WW2 aircraft including a Mk9 Spitfire and for a year or two had a small airshow on his property....I will never forget the Spit and 109 chasing each other in the summer sky....it was like something out of a Robert Taylor painting
+ Frank DeLuca Russell was selling off his collection. The Bf-109E is now with new owners in the UK and after some servicing it flies occasionally.
That distinctive engine whine justifiably struck terror in the hearts of Allied bomber crews!
Video quality is good. No reason to excuse for. Sound is outstanding.
These must be preserved at all cost, to remember and respect what occured.
The supercharged BF-109 was perhaps the ultimate technical acceivement of the Nazi regiem, designed by the best German engineers, manufactured by slave labor.
We are not allowed to forgive what happened, but more important we must never forget the atrocaties.
To me this engine is like a symphonic orchestra, a rare work of art, masive respect to German design and quality. A mechanical Mona Lisa. I have mixed feelings for the BF-109.
You mean like the deliberate murder of women, children, and old people in allied firestorm carpet bombing raids. The real war crime of WW2.
@@janreznak881 Agreed, this guy is a shill. He shields his lies in his aircraft comments. Trespire, take your mixed feelings on the BF109 and go comment on something more to your liking.
"Muh eeevul nerzis!!"
> firebombs Dresden a few months before the end of the war.
I don't know why but I like that plane best and it was a very good plane
@@Cotac_Rastic Do not forget the bombardement of Japanese with a nuclear bomb.
I’ve seen this plane up close and posed with a German luftwaffe veteran with this plane , once in a lifetime experience .
A timeless beauty 😍
Sacrilegious though it may be (to a Brit such as myself), I think the DB 605 sounds even better than the Rolls-Royce Merlin in the Spitfire. Wonderful to see such aircraft still flying.
It has the pur and whine of a merlin but the growl of a griffon engine
I could never get my dad to admit what a gorgeous plane that was. It just had way too much symbolism to it.
Beautiful plane and sounds, without stupid music playing in background - what a delight 😊.
Unbelievable collection of rare aircraft there. So cool to see.
Beautiful machine and collection of others. These planes are precious and must be preserved .
I think this aeroplane is marvellous
I love seeing history come to life. Thanks for this. 🙏
Bonjour , merci c'était magnifique .
Génial moment en mémoire des braves pilotes de la Luftwaffe .
Au revoir .
So nice to see an original Gustav with its original DB600 series engine.
Really cool. Awesome sound.
That's a cool place everyone should get a chance to see. I've camped out there a few times over the years for their wwii show and even drove our old CCKW wwii truck and helped a friend take his model T there to their shows. You all need to check it out!
I love the sound of the superchargers on the bf109 series
I love the sound of that supercharger!
What an incredible sound. This is straight up, auditory porn.
these planes are beautiful and the big dog on the block,the P51.
An original DB. I love the sound of it! 👍
One of the best sounding engines imo!
What a machine! Good audio. Love the soundtrack.
So many amazing warbirds
right, so many nations of the countries participating in the 2nd world war have designed special beautiful airplanes. Each has its character and charm.
Thank you for keeping history alive!!!
this makes me rlly happy for some reason
Great video and a great museum, one of the best collections of military aircraft in the country! Thanks for pointing 👍
What a nice gathering of warbirds.
It's engine sounds give me mad goose pimples, stunning machine.
Any video with an airworthy BF 109 is a good quality video.
All you gotta do is Paint the Black Tulip on the Nose and itll look stunning.
WW2 planes are just so interesting. Awesome!
This just puts into perspective how good the sound design is in DCS
That S Charger/turbo sounds so dang good. I need a phone that sounds like that when it rings!!! Sounds almost as good as a RR Merlin, almost. 🤪
sounds much better imo
Bravo: I'm disapointed when I see Buchon 109 in WW2 movies !
i just played world a warplanes all day and now im watching it for real
picture quality is brilliant sir
RAW sound, THANKS!
Excellent capture!
Original G4. 1780 horsepower. Great sound great footage thanks
Not sure why you apologised in the description for a lack of quality; the video's quality is outstanding, both in regards to visuals and sound.
That was too cool for words.❤
Readers are familiar with a Cessna 172. The ME109 has the same wing area, but 10x the power!
I inspected a Spanish built Buchon ME 109 some years back. Surprised how it’s detail design is un-aerodynamic, almost crude, compared to say the Mustang. Impression was the Me109 is a throw-down airplane. Sensible, They only lasted 6-7 weeks on the Russian front before shot up or more likely, a landing accident.
Kudos to restoration crew and particularly the DB engine. For sure can go down to local MB dealership for parts.
Great video. Well done 👍🏻 Thanks for sharing.
What an amazing grouping of aircraft!
Amazing Machine, thanks!
Výborný pilot na skvělém stroji.
Thanks for not modifying the plane's appearance and maintaining its true historic image
am glad that they kept historical accuracy by not removing or altering the swastika.
To me, the marks of a well-built engine are these:
How it sounds
How it shakes
How it smells
And how it starts.
A good robust engine will fire evenly and consistently, and have a competently shaped exhaust system. So it will sound smooth and consistent,
A good well-designed engine will be balanced and internally weighted & counterweighted down to the last gram. So it will feel smooth as butter at all but either the lowest or highest power bands. (A mild cam or wild cam as they used to be dubbed)
A precisely built engine will waste virtually no fuel, sending very, very little out the exhaust unused. Such an engine will have the lightest, least potent of hydrocarbon smells.
And the best indicator of all, in my opinion, is how well an engine starts. An engine like this Diamler will putter itself to life within the *first 1 or revolution!* This tells me a few things.
1: it's ignition system and fuel distribution and fuel injection system are all working flawlessly, and evenly throughout the engine.
2: it gets the perfect amount of primer.
3: the follow-up cylinders don't struggle to get or keep it going after the first 1 or two firings. Which is basically a reassurance of the previous two points.
Any engine that passes those 4 bullet points, is an engine worth having in my opinion.
Best sounding engine in aviation
