Heinz Knoke received a beautiful brand-new 109 fresh off the assembly line, his faithful mechanic Arndt waxed it in the sun before takeoff. Knoke said it surely added 10 mph to its top speed. But it was totally destroyed on its very 1st-mission. As Knoke walked back onto the airfield carrying his parachute draped over his shoulders, Arndt began weeping crying out "Oh no not that lovely Gustav!!!" This finely restored craft made me think of Knoke's bird and that day. What a beauty...

Hispano were not forbidden from using DB605s.They just couldn't get any, due to the factories being bombed flat. But there were a surplus of RR Merlin 500s post war both new and lightly used. 25 G models were supplied to Spain during the war, but without engines, tails or other important components which were promised shortly after but never delivered. ISTRC the Spanish did try a Hispano-Suiza powerplant but with limited success as the HS engine was not as developed as the DB605 and didn't have a supercharger so high altitude performance was poor.

Thankyou, shes a beautiful plane.

I'm so often amazed and impressed at the length that American classic aircraft restorers will go to bring historic aircraft to life. What an incredible achievement by the Midwest Aero team and their German partners. I recently attended the Battle of Britain Airshow at IWM Duxford in the UK where the sky was full of beautiful Rolls Royce Merlins and couldn't help wishing they might have been accompanied by that unique Daimler-Benz combination of deep tone and high pitched supercharger whine. The clever production engineering Willi Messerschmitt built into the Bf-109 was one of the reasons they were relatively fast and cheap to manufacture, a fact that rarely gets mentioned. The details described and shown in closeup in this video make excellent documentation of an especially important historic aircraft. The Messerschmitt Bf-109 was the first of the 1940s era European fighter planes, flying before the Hawker Hurricane and Supermarine Spitfire, it served in every European theatre with distinction and was produced in larger numbers than any other fighter in history. It produced more aces and arguably was responsible for more confirmed victories than any other fighter type, achievements unlikely to be surpassed with newer fighter designs today becoming pilotless. It was not the most advanced fighter by war's end but I would suggest this mean looking little plane was the most successful fighter in history. One question I will ask goes to the very meaning of 'restoration'. The Germans suffered from a chronic lack of strategic metals like chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, tin and others needed to make high temperature alloys required for high performance engines like these. This resulted in short lives for exhaust valves and engine bearings with consequent more intensive maintenance and logistic problems than for similar Allied engines who could source materials from the entire British Empire and the United States. It also made the engines very sensitive to variations in fuel composition. Did the restoration of this DB-605 include the use of the original less-than-ideal metals or were these replaced by newly fabricated components made from more appropriate alloys which the Germans would have used, had the right metals been available to them? It would make sense to do this from the perspective of engine life and maintenance, but then it becomes a little less authentic. Thanks again to Midwest Aero for making it possible for future generations to see and hear this important piece of historical aviation fly and to Restoration Passion for this video, which I will link to others likely to be interested. First class!

One thing i will say after interviewing and getting to know the team there is this: There is definitely a disconnect between wrench turning restoration experts, and people who are knowledgeable in the historic specifics of one particular area, such as your subject above. The guys i interviewed restored the plane and could tell you about every phase they worked on, they did however only have a basic understanding of German engineering specifics of that time and industry related questions from the war were better left to a historian in the field. Additionally, as they did most of the restoration, there were specific sections, such as engine rebuild that i believe were sent to Germany to get the work done. If anyone could answer your question it may be those guys. All i recall was they were around Munich somewhere.

In 1948 the newly founded state of Israel bought 5 Avia S-199, which were essentially Me109 with a Jumo 211 Motor built from leftovers in Czechoslovakia after the war. They managed to stop the baffled egyptian army with their unexpected fighters and thereby saved Israel but lost at least 2 planes through mistiming between the propellers and the guns. But still, the main fighter of the Nazi Luftwaffe in the end had its share in providing safety for the people who the Nazis seeked to eliminate. Nice turn in my eyes.

Bf-109 "FM+BB" uses an DB-605 that was found in Italy after the owner thought he would get into trouble and bricked it up behind a wall. Bf-109E W.Nr. 3523 is awaiting restoration in CA and the owners found a rare DB-601 still in the crate. In general, the Allied occupation was very systematic with disarmament and everything was scrapped. Scrap metal merchants were very busy in the 1950s cleaning up war material. Some items that were still in good condition were repurposed and used, for example the French operated some Fw-190s, a Ju-88 and the rare He-274 prototype until the 1950s. The French manufactured and used Jumo 213 engines until the 1960s. The Czechs were still making Avia S-199s with Jumo 211 engines. They also had big warehouse of DB-605 engines, which caught fire and burned around 1947 I think. Behind the Iron Curtain, Stalin did not accept Marshal Plan assistance for his economy and ordered everything scrapped for raw materials for his new Soviet military. So to answer your question, most of this material was either used or systematically scrapped. Some museums and private collectors had engines and other items but they are still rare.
