The Focke Wulf D9-13 are so good looking planes.But to all Tempest,Mustang and SpitfireFans,dont forget the Ta 152 she was even a bit better.And dont forget the next step in aviation History ,the Me 262.

We all can be glad That Hitler dont understood the prospects such a weapon gave him.

I think I've got this right: this is a FW-190D-13, "Yellow 10," first restored by Doug Champlin in Mesa, AZ, then purchased and moved to the Seattle Air Museum. This is an EXTREMELY rare airlplane, which Mr Champlin found decades ago rotting behind some yahoo's car lot near Atlanta. Prof Tank himself helped with the restoration. Supposedly completely restored and flyable. I have two PICA model FW-190D-9s with Saito 125s, and this airplane is my obsession. Don't know why, I just love the look

It will never fly because it is a rare example, but I think it would be great if the Seattle Air Museum would roll it out for engine runs. The second restoration corrected many things and the engine was checked again. When it rolled out of the restoration shop they hoped to do engine runs, but there was a tight schedule to ship it to Seattle and it never ran again.

@FiveCentsPlease Hey thanks for that update! I have the original Yellow 10 book from the Champlin museum, and had the pleasure of having Mr Champlin give me a personal tour of his fantastic museum in Mesa way back in '01, but Yellow 10 was being restored and not viewable. Since he sold his aircraft to Seattle Air Museum I hadn't any knowledge of updates to the airframe. Thank you for the info!

Technically, it changed hands once or twice before Champlain bought it. It spent time in California, where the buyer stripped off the paint and covered it in Zinc primer, thus erasing the original markings and history until it was restored again a few years ago. The original paddle-blade prop is missing but has been located with a private collector who will hopefully part with it one day.

@Xiolablu3 Nakajima Ki 84b had an insane climb rate, even with low octane fuel.

@cyberOwwwOecho I'm sure you have heard about the immense problems, which were caused by the fact that in Germany important special alloy were not longer available in the last war-years. This was the main reason for quality-problems you described. Also piston driven fighter planes were effected to lack of high-quality-material. The Merlin-Motors had a much better endurance.

I recommend to read the englisch source I gave you below: Wikipedia "Junkers Jumo 004".

@Xiolablu3

I found some more Datas:

Rate of Climb for the Jumo004C (...which was not the most advanced of the Jumos) at sea-level (speed 540 km/h) was 25 m/s. The HeS11 had 33 m /s ! Especially at the end of the war some jumo-jet-engines with much more performance were ready. The 109-004H had 17,7 kN instead of 10k kN (004-C) and a much more advanced model based on the same basic systems the Jumo 0121 with 27,3 KN !!

A very good english source seemes to be --> Google:"Junkers Jumo 004".

Anyway, my final word on the the Me262 subject, I am not disputing that it was an incredible aircraft. probably the best all round aircraft in service in numbers in WW2. All I am saying is that it was not perfect. Prop aircraft still had some advantages over it and could often shoot it down. I am just saying that we should be careful not to imagine it was 'invincible'. And also the Allies had their own jets too, but the Me262 was the best all round of these first generation jets.

[Xiolablu3]

@cyberOwwwOecho Yeah the P51 has a relatively mediocre climb, it was heavier, but the SPitfire IX Merlin 66 is one of the best climbers of WW2 along with the Bf109. Both had incredible climb rates in WW2

@Xiolablu3

That you don't understand anything wrong: The P-51 and even the Tempest were great planes. I would like the fly with both. Especielly the P-51 had big influence to the outcome of war. Germanys latetst airplanes came too late and if you know how they had to construct them in hidden tunnels deep in the mountains without any convenience, you would admit it even more. ;-)
