Description
...or, What is Under Your Bonnet for our UK friends:)
Used a Gaussian Blur filter to remove the distraction of lots of other things in the immediate background in the museum in Dayton, Ohio.
......
This is a WWII German Bf 109G-10 Messeschmidt fighter. It was brought to US Air Force test facilities in Dayton, Ohio after the war for evaluation. It was one of the latest variants among more than 30,000 Bf 109s built during WWII.
So, what is under its' hood? A Daimler Benz DB 605 D-2 engine. It is an inverted V-12 of more than 1700 Horse Power. [by way of comparison, the first Bf 109 flew with a Rolls Royce 650 HP engine in 1935]
For you real enthusiasts, notice the clear, see-through canopy on this G-10. Big improvement visibility-wise.

...and on to recommendation # 3, thanks for sharing all the info Bill, (especially this ME 109, a lot to read for the real enthusiasts and a lot to digest for the layman), just amazing - that's all I can say ! BRAVO - you did a real good job on all of them, no wonder you are a mad keen 'collector of all things flying'... BB
