Bf109T, with seven constructed for carrier trials before the program was canceled, while the remaining T versions were used in Luftwaffe service after removing unneeded tail hooks.

Amazing. I heard, but dont claim to know, that Germany developed a version of the Bf-109 that could operate from aircraft carriers.
But they never finshed their carrier program so was never used.

the canopy looks like a greenhouse

what exactly makes for example the DB-605D vastly superior to the R-2800? the R-2800 with Water injection created 2,450 to 2,500HP and was air cooled, no liquid cooling system to muck up. it was so rugged and durable it could have entire cylinder heads blown off, low oil pressure, and still perform well enough for a aircraft to fly.

The first 109 prototype had a RR Kestrel.. The irony !!

@squatch4ever Yea,,,,,,,,, until you used the landing gear, then it could be called a Yugo. :)

@squatch4ever That the 109 is the Mercedes-Benz of the skies is quite literally the case, since the 109 carries a Mercedes engine.

Deutsche Technik ey!!

The German V12s were technically advanced and more complex, as said today by those restoring them. I would not call V12s superior. While all of the inline V12s offered the aerodynamic advantage they could be crippled by cooling system damage. The radials were rugged and could take punishment and still fly home.

The German V engine vastly superior to the US radial..see the "Jumo" in the Focke Wulf..now these are engines..
On man, what a beautiful airplane.
