I will be making a trip to the Willy Messerschmitt Museum in Manching. That is also where they restore original Bf 109s into flying condition. I will make sure to take lots of pics.
A question I have for anyone, I remember reading in a book long ago, and I cannot remember which but it might be "Flying Forts", about 8th AF B-17's. There was mention of " rounds bouncing off the armor plate on the belly" of the Focke Wulf. Was this book folklore, or did the belly have armor for the fuel tanks ?
Great thread!
I was going to post this in the "videos" section, but I will post it here instead.View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1bXBrnGsaA
Not sure if this is a Flugwerk 190 or not, but man is it beautiful! I like that he is showing off the rolling ability of the plane.
The 190 is one plane that I have never seen fly that I hope to the most, and there are several American fighters I have never seen fly before that I would pass up to see one of these.
I love the Fw190 ,but mostly the BMW engined versions. I think the Dora model looks "hacked together".
