To think that these amazing warbirds were once considered , cutting edge technology .... aviation was practically still in it's infancy and pressurized aircraft was still in the test phases .... total respect to the many men & women that flew during this conflict . I had the very good fortune to experience first hand what it might have felt like as a waist gunner , on board a B-17 , Flying Fortress named " Sentimental Journey " a few years back . It gave me a tiny sense of what these brave young men & women endured during bombing missions . Aviation history is simply fascinating , thanks for the share , great vid !!!

At the 2:17 time mark with yellow cockpit ID letters "CD" is "Betsy's Biscuit Bomber", an all original C-47B built in 1943. It was flown from Paso Robles California making whistle stops along the way over a months time. It flew to Duxford England, coming by way of the Greenland route. The aircraft is part of the Estrella Warbirds Museum collection here in Paso Robles California USA. This aircraft's last U.S. missions were flying the Berlin Airlift, it was sold to Israel and was later purchased back from the Israeli Air Force and refurbished/preserved. There is a hand painted Hebrew language sign on the lavatory door that roughly translates to, "The only replacement for a Dakota, is another Dakota". The plane was a military transport it's whole life and never converted for civilian use. It still has all of it's original equipment to include flight controls, radios, navigator gear, paratrooper jump seats, the large desert sand shields atop each engine nacelles and the gear used for towing combat gliders in Europe during WWII.

THIS -190 is a replica built in the late 2000s by Flug+Werk in Germany. The engine is a P&W R-2800 on a special mount. Hence the slightly "odd" appearance of the cowling because it is larger than the original BMW, as well as the Chinese engines used in other Flug+Werk -190s.

My dad was in RAF Bomber Command in the Far East in WW2. For a time he had an American pilot who fortunately had been a Barn Storming pilot in the 30s. One day they couldn't land the Hudson at the aerodrome, so were forced to pancake into the Selaper(?) River with my dad still signalling on the radio. Two guys climbed into the life raft and were spun away down river. Dad and the Yank dived into the river and swam to the shore where they were met by three or four Ghandi lookalikes, who, very politely, insisted on holding umbrellas over the heads of these sodden airmen as they escorted them to the railway station. En route they told them that the river was full of crocodiles! Oh, the other two guys were picked up later. Love to hear the old propellors - always rush out of doors to watch our Battle of Britain Memorial Flight when I hear those engines.

[@marthavaughan4660]

The "Mustang" w/ the allison engine is I believe an A36 formerly of the Champlin collection. They had a unique dive-brake system where a "fence" extended from the top of each wing in order to slow the a/c while diving.It was complicated and if this a/c once was so equipped, probably has been deactivated.

[@Voodoo1650]

Martha Vaughan No, this one is definitely an A model, it’s the only true A model still flying and has been owned by the Planes of Fame air museum for many many years.

None of them existed during those times, yet these planes performed and delivered us to either victory or defeat.

During the Mustang Mk. I's successful combat initiation, North American's president Howard "Dutch" Kindelberger pressed the newly redesignated U.S. Army Air Forces (USAAF) for a fighter contract for the essentially similar P-51, 93 of which had passed into the USAAF when the Lend-Lease contract with Britain ran out of funds. The Mustang IA/P-51 used four 20 mm Hispano wing cannon in place of the original armament, a combination of four wing-mounted .30 caliber (7.62 mm) M1919 Browning machine guns and four .50 caliber (12.7 mm) M2 Browning machine guns, two of which were mounted in the wings, while the second pair was mounted in the "chin", or lower engine cowling, and synchronized to fire through the propeller. No funds were available for new fighter contracts in fiscal year 1942, but General Oliver P. Echols and Fighter Project Officer Benjamin S. Kelsey[4] wanted to ensure that the P-51 remained in production.[5] Since appropriations were available for an attack aircraft, Echols specified modifications to the P-51 to turn it into a dive bomber. The contract for 500 A-36A aircraft fitted with bomb racks, dive brakes, and heavier-duty wing, was signed by Kelsey on 16 April 1942,[6] even before the first flight of the first production P-51 in May 1942.[7] With orders on the books, North American Aviation (NAA) began modifying the P-51 to accept the bomb shackles which had already been tested in a "long-range ferry" program that the RAF had stipulated.[8] Engineering studies totaling 40,000 hours and wind tunnel testing with a ⅛-scale model were completed in June 1942. Utilizing the basic P-51 airframe and Allison engine, structural reinforcing "beefed up" several high stress areas and "a set of hydraulically operated dive brakes were installed in each main wing plane".[9] Due to the slightly inboard placement of the bomb racks and unique installation of four cast aluminum dive brakes, a complete redesign of the P-51 wing was required.[6] A-36A production line at NAA Inglewood, October 1942. The first A-36A (42-83663) was rolled out of the NAA Inglewood plant in September 1942, rapidly going through flight testing with the first flight in October, with deliveries commencing soon after of the first production machines. The A-36A continued the use of nose-mounted .50 in (12.7 mm) machine guns along with wing armament of four .50 in (12.7 mm) caliber machine guns. The USAAF envisaged that the dive bomber would operate mainly at altitudes below 12,000 ft (3,658 m) and specified the use of a sea level-rated Allison V-1710-87, driving a 10 ft 9 in (3.28 m)-diameter three bladed Curtiss-Electric propeller and delivering 1,325 hp (988 kW) at 3,000 ft (914 m).[10] The main air scoop inlet was redesigned to become a fixed unit with a larger opening, replacing the earlier scoop which could be lowered into the airstream. In addition the A-36 carburetor air intake was later fitted with a tropical air filter to stop sand and grit being ingested into the engine.[6][11] The USAAF later ordered 310 P-51As, which were essentially A-36s without the dive-brakes and nose mounted weapons, leaving an armament of four wing-mounted 0.50 in (12.7 mm) Browning machine guns.[12] An Allison V-1710-81 1,200 hp (895 kW) was fitted and used the same radiator and air intake as the A-36A. The P-51A was still fitted with bomb racks although it was not intended to be used primarily as a fighter-bomber and the racks were mainly used to carry drop tanks.[12][13] Operational history

[@FiveCentsPlease]

+sean kelly Several Ju-88s are in static restoration. Paul Allen's museum may possibly have a Ju-88 in progress, but this has not been confirmed as true and remains a rumor. Allen's museum will say when they are ready. It was known for a while that the museum had a Stuka wreck but the project was no officially announced until late last year.

[@silvergtotwinturbo9984]

@soaringtractor I never did say that he took his planes to other airshows!!! They only fly them in close proximity, like circuits. The collection has closed its doors, no-one knows for how long, or if its ever going to open. They do have a Stuka, Kermit Weeks did a video where he goes round the museum and shows the Ju87 very well. I think everyone and his Auntie knows Paul Allen died, sent ripples through the aircraft restoration scene. I do wish you would read my post before commenting!!!!

+Lonewolf SWE Not counting Buchons, there are only three flyable Bf-109s in North America and one of those is fitted with an Allison. It's unlikely any DB engined examples will fly far from their home museums because of operating costs.

[@Jimboy1611]

The FW-190 is a stunning aeroplane. So damn menacing. Never seen one fly in the UK. The only ME-109s we get are Spanish licence-built Buchons as well. Upright engines. They don’t have that pugnacious look the inverted Daimler gave the 109. Kinda hard to think that as the allies were wrecking the remnants of the Luftwaffe that they were denying museum exhibits to enthralled subsequent generations, haha. Even harder to think that tools designed to perpetuate such evil would one day be romanticised alongside the planes that brought the nazis down.

[@FiveCentsPlease]

+Jimmy Drums The UK has an airworthy Bf-109E at Biggin HIll now, although I do not know how much public flying the aircraft does. Another Bf-109E restoration is going to a UK owner if I understand correctly and it will be stunning. I'm kind of surprised that there has not been a new Bf-109G restoration for the UK also. There was a Flugwerk Fw-190 in the UK for a very long time but the CAA would not grant a permit to fly, I believe citing structural differences between factory Fw190s and the Flugwerk examples. It was sold to a new owner in Germany. Someone with the means in the UK should definitely obtain a Fw-190 wreck for restoration on the rare instance that one becomes available.

[@Jimboy1611]

FiveCentsPlease - Oh, awesome! Weirdly enough, I was down at The Old Jail pub where the Biggin Hill pilots drank in the Battle of Britain today. Those Emil 109s are great, but would love to see a 109G in the air as well. You’d need some seriously deep pockets to do an aircraft restoration like that!

[@danielledykgraaf6483]

What a great looking aircraft the P-38 lightning is....Now just imagine what it would be with two Merlins instead!

[@billycaspersghost7528]

Why what`s wrong with the turbosupercharged Allisons ?

[@Alitheia777]

Very nearly might have had Merlins, had the Brits used their imagination when they received the "castrated" Lightnings early in the war. The non supercharged Allisons were a big disappointment to them. Had they switched them out for Merlins Oh boy! That would have been some airplane! The P-38 would have been the scourge of the Luftwaffe, and the Mustang might never had been needed.

[@billycaspersghost7528]

Not so easy to do though.There is a hell of a lot of work doing that and like the P51 would need the manufacturer to be on board.The British used their imagination with the Mustang but it only ran to prototypes. It was North American who made the Merlin Mustang and it would have to have been Lockheed who made a Packard Merlin P38 ,you can`t just switch engines in a shed at a depot somewhere in Britain.

[@billycaspersghost7528]

Sounds a bit of a fantasy plane.What would have induced anyone to do all this in the middle of a brutal war ? There is no narrow drive to prove a "what if" series of actions for an individual aircraft. What if they had put Merlins on the Westland Whirlwind? Best heavy fighter of the early war? You could make a list of what ifs for many planes. THe P38 always had a lower critical mach number than the alternatives and while that is not an issue in the correct role it was a handicap when flying escort which meant having to dogfight.
