First thing I thought when the author of this video said what makes a fighter plane is its engine I thought. The Mustang. However the British Introduction of a decent powerplant to the Mustang proved it was a fighter frame worth developing further. This is cross nation functionality which Germany did not utilise beyond really Germany and Czech for tanks if it had expanded that to Italian in fighter planes too. True to their nature Italians were making sports cars of the skies

My grandfather was a Morane mechanic during ww2. He gave me the blueprints for it when I was a child. Regrettably I lost them.

Big shame that no Mörkö-Morane has been preserved. I wish one was in a museum.

The Klimov M-105 was based on the Hispano 12Y series, so it was a relatively simple bolt in.

Morane ms206 akin to Hawker Hurricane but Finn's always seemed able to turn sow,s ear into silk purse.

Built a model of this plane because i really enjoyed using the ms.410 in war thunder and thought it was an interesting story, thanks for giving more information on it.

WT changed the Mörkö by the way, and it now allows you equip either the UB or the MG151

"Mörkö" means "Bogeyman", famous from American children's nightmares. Mörkö-Morane was sometimes called as a second-class fighter. This nominating originated railroad passenger cars classification: first-class was very comfortable, second-class had soft velvet-clad benches and third-class were equipped with wooden benches and seats. Passenger ticket prices were according with these classes, 3rd was cheapest. Messerschmitt Bf109G was rated as first-class fighter aircraft.

Warning. It had terrible handling. The Aircraft was used by the Luftwaffe for training. The stall was viscous and unannounced. Probably could have been fixed by wing redesign.

Good, informative video, AllthingsWW2. I like many things about the air war in WWII involving those two countries beginning with 'F', with a 'complicated' war, so it's especially welcome to have a video featuring them all-in-one. One might add the Macchi-Castoldi MC 200 to the 202, in terms of fighters being improved by a change in power plant, but I don't think that the MC 200 was all that poor a fighter in the first place and air-cooled radials do lend an appreciable plus when it comes to being harder to shoot down.

Great content. Great production quality. Very good all the way round.

For anyone that plays war thunder, get the Mörkö Morane. This thing is insane, It climbs like a 109 and turns like a spit. It only has 2 downsides, it has mediocre firepower with limited ammo, and the top speed is mediocre as well. You will be on equal alt or higher than the opponent at the beginning of the game (after climbing ofc), and you can fight anyone that you can't run from, and you can fight plenty of the ones you can run from as well. It is good in the horizontal and vertical, and with trigger discipline, an ace game without landing to rearm is definitely possible. It is a hidden gem at 2.0, sitting in the shadow of the more famous planes such as the 109E, yak1, f2a, and many more. There are only a very few aircraft that it faces that I fear a little when flying the Mörkö Morane, such as the Ki-43, Yak-1b, F2A-3, Bf 109 F-2, and the He-100 (although this one may just be because i hold the He-100 to the same high regard as the Mörkö) TLDR: The Mörkö Morane is a low tier beast! It is it does nothing bad, it does a lot of things quite good. Added to that is that you mostly face green pilots, so you can really play around with your food... Get this aircraft and you will have a lot of fun!

The M.S.406 and especially its 410 and 450 improvements were very underrated planes especially as the M.S.450 was actually faster than the D520 although it had less stretch potential. The improved 450 was only 5km slower than the 109E and was able to get to 3km in only 2 mins due to it's lighter frame whilst maintaining excellent horizontal maneuverability. The Morko-Morraine is much closer to the 450 in specification than the 406 unfortunately, the 450 was only just entering service in June 1940 but the French did plan to upgrade all 406s to the new 450-standard which included giving it a new 1100hp Hispano-Suiza 12Y-51 engine as well as new wings and a modified tail.

THANKS FOR THESE

Really nice video So glad that you are doing a real narration and not the fake Computer voice - real is better

The most famous example of a vast improvement of an aircraft by changing its powerplant, is the North American P-51 Mustang which originally was equipped with an Allison engine. It was the same engine that the Curtiss P-40 used, as the British customers wanted that engine to be used. Once the fighter got to England, and was thoroughly tested, it was found that it, like the P-40 before it, couldn't really handle high altitudes. One test pilot asked if a Rolls Royce Merlin engine could be tried. This proved such a change in the P-51, that American car company Packard, was tasked with building more Merlin engines in the United States for the following production of P-51s. North American, themselves impressed with the changes to their fighter, redesigned the air intakes and cut down the fuselage behind the pilot to give him full 360 degree unobstructed vision by using a "bubble" canopy. This also led to an increase in speed and range, as the Merlin/Packard used less fuel than the Allison did. Once these changes were implemented, the Mustangs were finally able to escort the bombers anywhere in Germany called for on the day.

Very intensive video. Thank you. Finnish veteran pilots said: you could scary Soviet pilots by 5 first cannon rounds. Then you need to stab them by machine gun barrels. This means: cannon went many often jam after short burst and rifle caliber mgs were no power. Cannon shels were also too "sensitive" and blows on the surface of the plane body. No penetration power. Cannons were also replace with 12,7mm Colt machine guns, cause in early war there was no other cannon to use.

Imagine I'm duplicating others, but planes improved by an engine swap surely include the P-51 (Merlin for Allison); P35 became the generally faster and better P-40 by replacing the Twin Wasp with an Allison; Corsair got a significant boost in speed by putting 28-cyl P&W in to replace the R-2800 most had; Spitfires with Griffons were better in a number of ways than Merlin-powered variants. Italians put a B in one of Macchi fighter instead of the Alfa Romeo radial for great improvement, plus another got a D-B instead of the IF originally installed, also to great improvement.

Change of powerplant? Best known must be the Mustang A-model. It was useless against German planes over altitude of 3km. Then, british mechanics tinkered a Merlin into one dumping its Allison engine - pilots tested it and told that now this thing kicks ass. Later P-51D with R&R Merlin engine became good and famous. :)

The Hispano Aviación HA-1112 the Spanish built version of the Bf-109. Originally used the Hispano-Suiza 12Z-17 engine. The HA-1112-M1L was fitted with surplus RAF Merlin's, 172 built which finally retired in 1965..

Nice vid! I think it was not mentioned, the Finns started armouring the pilot seats in 1940, right after getting the planes.

The first AC that come in mind is the LaGG3 wich went into the La5 with a radial engine and better armament, and the Focke Wulf 190 from A Version to D9 for example, the Spit from Mk1A to Griffin, the evolution of the 109 during the war with better airframe and many DB engines

Good video.

Actually I believe the 109 first flew w a Rolls Royce Kestrel because the Jumo 210 was not available. Later the excellent DB601 with innovative fuel injection and the more improved DB605 was fitted. Post war the Czechs re-engineered 109s w the Junkers Jumo 211, to throughly ruin a decent fighter. And of course she was re-engines again in Spain w the RR Merlin! Pretty interesting stuff!

The Finnish Air Force did what they could with what they had, which wasn't much. Top marks for ingenuity and pure stubbornness. According to "Random military history" ( kzread.info/dash/bejne/ha6AmpeRY8XYeps.html ) the nickname came from somebody on the ground crew remarking that the engine "growled like a bogeyman" on take-off. They also point out that a major issue with the Franken-Moranes was the engine being vastly overpowered to the design limitations of the airframe, which caused a lot of vibration damage over a relatively short service life.

Les pilotes français ont été très surpris au printemps 1940 de découvrir les redoutables 109E "Emil" version très supérieure en motorisation (DB601) et armement !

The most important attribute of a fighter aircraft is SPEED ! The French didn't understand that. But then, they didn't have the expertise to develop more powerful engines, so they went with what they had. There are many examples of aircraft upgraded in overall performance by an engine swap ( Mustang ) but the most interesting one ( for me ) is the Messerspit. An intact Spitfire captured by the Germans and fitted with a DB605 engine. Tests proved that it outclassed both the BF109 G and the FW190 D. However, the Germans did not have the capability to reverse engineer the Spitfire airframe in a timely fashion and the idea went nowhere. The Messerspit was destroyed in a bombing raid in 1945.

It was a totally mediocre fighter at best, the only viable French fighter plane of the times was the Dewoitine 520. Finns had to use everything they could grab.
