Steam is quieter than diesel.

But it makes the plane much more visible, especially at high altitudes

The Germans did experiment with diesel powered engines though. We have a diesel powered radial engine in storage at the museum, although it's in pretty poor shape. Check out Diamond Aircraft, they have a diesel powered plane for sale now.

You too 
Yup, I believe the Blohm und Voss Bv-222 ran on diesel engines (Incidentally the Bv-222 was the largest operational flying boat of the war, and the second largest of the war )

You're not, you're supposed to not reply. You werent supposed to ask a spam question which will, undoubtedly, lead into a spam conversation.
Thats the annoying thing about this site, theres only so much about WW2 you can talk about, so after a while we all turn corrupt.
I can say get back on topic all I like, but there isnt really much point, it will only stray away again. It always does.
