bf 109 can rupture those spitfire panzies

[CB125B6]

that the BF had more firepower in battle of britain is not correct. the spitfire had more!

[thewaryears1939]

@CB125B6 I'm sure the arguments will continue to rage but surely a 20mm cannon would outgun .303 machine guns?

[DressedWings]

@thewaryears1939 not in the when there are 12 303. against 2 20mm and 2 50.

The RAF on paper were outgunned, but when 12 machine guns fired at once it was equal to or greater than a blast of 20mm cannons, however the ME109 is my favourite aircraft of the battle of brittan, or alteast it compares with the hurricane MKII in my opnion.

[XDGAMERS]

@CB125B6 ysoure wrong, the BF had more the spitfire had the Browning with 400-500 RPM and the BF the MG 109 with nearly 1200 RPM. the Spitfire hat 4 MGS the BF 2 MGS that is 1600 - 2000 RPM vs 2400 RMP and the .303 caliber is more worse than the German 7,62

Hi There: I don't know off the top of my head where you might buy a genuine me-109. I've seen a few me-108s at military shows recently, so they must be a little easier to come by.

@thewaryears1939

There are a few 109 wrecks for sale from brokers and salvage experts. It's a very expensive aircraft to restore if you want to go flying. Even the mostly intact Me109E example pulled from a lake took several years to find a buyer.

[thewaryears1939]

@FiveCentsPlease Thanks for the additional info, very interesting. I guess a groups of aircraft enthusiasts getting together might be a way to go to cover the costs of restoration, upkeep and flying - sort of joint ownership, like a race horse

[FiveCentsPlease]

@thewaryears1939

Most are owned by private individuals or museums. Joint ownership can easily open the door for problems and infighting over many issues, but one rare early Bf109 example is under restoration by a group of private investors so we'll see how that works out over time.

Any idea where i can find and buy an ME-109? :3

[MFGKirchdorf]

Thank you for sharing this historical footages !!!

[mumpfi1994]

WTF 34`000 BFs 109??

aha

[thewaryears1939]

Many thanks. I'm about to launch some new Me-109 designs on Zazzle and one that features Adolf Galland. Visit my website thewaryears.co.uk for more info.

Nice vid, just love the soundtrack too.. 'Where Eagles Dare" Brilliant..

[thewaryears1939]

Thanks for your comments, which are much appreciated. Look out for my new VT on Adolf Galland, upload today

[FrancoHitlini]

Nice film. Mixture of variants but the Friedrich in desert colours looks sweet. Best fighter of the war? I would say that of the German fighters the FW190(perhaps Dora) would be most peoples choice; from the Bf109G onwards the Me's airframe was struggling a bit.

[thewaryears1939]

Glad you like the Bf-109, you might like the little rough footage I took of a Me-108 at Military and Flying Machines last weekend. It's not great, only had my Canon camera to grab some video. Take a look at my channel

[SuperLuigy8]

yes respect to the bf...

[AccordGTR]

I think they were fuel injected when the British fighters used carburetors. Wow. But the British Spitfire was cleaner aerodynamically and had that wonderful Rolls Royce Merlin engine

[direktorpresident]

Prettiest tail group of any aircraft ever.

[MegaLola48]
