One of Kurt Tank's finest

@maxrpm2215

Kurt Waldemar Tank was a German aeronautical engineer and test pilot who led the design department at Focke-Wulf from 1931 to 1945. “In December 1944, while flying between Langenhagen and Cottbus at the controls of one of the first aircraft, Kurt Tank was intercepted by a pair of American P-51 Mustangs. His tactics for escape were extremely simple. Tank pressed the button which activated his MW 50 boost, opened the throttle wide, and quickly left the Mustangs far behind in a cloud of blue smoke.”

They should take the Dora to the skies again! What a beautiful plane, I prefer it to the P51.

I last saw these marvelous aircraft around 1980. This video sent a shiver up my spine, just like I felt that day. There weren’t any railings then. I walked around and under everything. Didn’t touch anything of course. Looks like they have all held up better than I have in all these years.

I like the fact that the inline Jumo engine had its engine mounts in the same place as a DB603 to aid with engine swaps/diversity. It has its supercharger on the opposite side though. The annular radiator makes it look like a radial as in the Junkers 88.

This fine aircraft along with many other aircraft of WW2 from all countries, especially the P-51 were thought up designed and built by talented and dedicated people who had no computers, calculators, and especially smartphones to do the thinking for them. People who used to use their brains to accomplish tasks. Something that I believe we have forgotten. I guess this is why they call them the Greatest Generation.......

They only had to put a few modern instruments in the cockpit to fly it safely. Also late-war German aircraft were very poor quality from poor materials and slave labor, and the restoration brings the aircraft to a level that they should have been.

FiveCentsPlease Exactly, all of that history is built into the current patina. If you want a flyable aircraft do what’s needed. But I would much rather see a well worn example of something that has a story to tell. Allied testing is part of the story. Would you want a A6M with stars and bars as that was the way it was flown in testing after the war or would you want to take it back in time. Factory fresh ? Wartime dirty scheme ? If so, at what point in its life ? For me it depends on the time frames involved. If it was at the point something is decommissioned maybe take it back to a wartime example as was done with the D9. If time has past then maybe the testing scheme/configuration is what makes a particular airframe interesting. At this point, the D9 is what it is, including the first restoration job for display. If it’s deteriorating then do what’s needed to save it by all means. Just like the Saturn V that’s displayed outside in Florida and had internal rusting issues. But I’d rather not see a museum restore an airframe without need just to make it look pretty. Granted it’s always a judgement. For me, If your going to fly it then strip it and rebuild as needed. Otherwise, stabilize the deterioration and correct major issues need to save it. Let it tell it’s own story. The witness marks of time and use are much more interesting to me than a fresh face. Having said all of this consider they did restore the Last Super... so it’s a never ending discussion. Thanks for the pictures of Champlin! While the aircraft are cool, I see my father in them and that means so much more to me as we lost him in 2004. He loved reading all the info in the displays on the walls.

On 22-September-1945 Haynes took Fw-190D W.Nr. 211018 up for a demonstration flight for visitors at Freeman Field. The accident report says that on base leg to final, he attempted a wingover at low altitude and after recovery he impacted the ground (pancaked it.) The plane broke into several pieces and Haynes was found still strapped in his seat, deceased. 3.bp.blogspot.com/-zr4LtZauYFU/Vzw5H3HlS8I/AAAAAAAAWus/ytXOisOOf3IozaScdazE14ejOMH5vouWACLcB/s1600/1dorapic2.jpg

+ titi kalagan Yes, the preservation work was done by volunteers in the 1970s. There is enough expertise today to refresh it into shining example.

Pascal Chauvet Pascal Chauvet vor 1 Sekunde What makes the Focke-Wulf "long-nose" 190D so special is that it actually was a makeshift solution. The high altitude performance of the original 190 with the radial engine left much to be desired, a problem that was never really solved. So it as a logical step to replace it by a V-12 engine like the Daimler-Benz 605 which powered the Messerschmitt BF190 G and K series and offered much better high altitud performance. Unfortunately there were not enough of thes DB 605 engines available, so Kurt Tank (responsible for the 190's development) was instrutcted to use the Junkers Jumo 213 V-12 engine which was a bomber engine used on the Junkers Ju88. Supposably Tank did not like the heavier Jumo 213 engine but he had no choice. Despite Tank's dislike of the Jumo 213 engine the Focke-Wulf 190D was actually a very good fighter aircraft, similar in performance to the P-51 Mustang. In the late stages of the war many of the available Focke-Wulf 190D were used to protect Messerschmitt 262 jet fighter aircraft when they were most vulnerable, during takeoff and landing. These 190D wer painted bright red on the underside to avoid being shot down by the own FLAK. I can only think of one WW2 aircraft being a similar makeshift solution and still having much success in operations: The Bristol Beaufighter. Its predecessor was the underpowered Bristol Beaufort Torpedo Bomber, incapable of maintaining height on one engine. Bristol took the Beaufort's wings, mated it to much more powerful Bristol Hercules sleeve-valve engines, designed a new fuselage and there it was, the Beaufighter multi-role combat aircraft used as night fighter, naval bomber, torpedo bomber, etc. Yet in the beginning there was an interim solution within the interim solution. At first the powerful Bristol Hercules radial engines were not available. With Britain desperately in need for a capable night fighter aircraft, according to Bill Gunston in his book "The development of piston aero engines", Rolls-Royce and Morris Motors worked day and night to develop a Merlin "power egg" engine installation with integrated chin radiator which made possible the Bristol Beaufighter II night fighter. While this was underpowered because it had been designed for the more powerful Bristol Hercules and soon was replaced in service, its self-contained "power egg" engine intallation made possible the AVRO Lancaster because only minimal changes were necessary to fit these on the Lancaster wing. So, how about putting a Bristol Beaufighter on display next to the Focke-Wulf 190D?

Seem to recall reading the Spitfire Mk 5 around that time was being outclassed and the Spitfire Mk IX went some way to restoring a balance.. Without doubt though, the FW 190 in being nicknamed 'the butcher bird' was not without reason. ... This 'long nose' D9 version even more impressive and remember making an Airfix plastic model of it in the 60's.

They both have Jumo inline engines but the Ta 152 (Jumo 213E engine) has elongated wings for high altitiude. The only surviving Ta 152 is at the Air and Space museum Maryland but its not on display, probable storage. This is definitely a late Dora 9 (Jumo 213A engine) because of the blown canopy, earlier examples had a flat canopy from the A series.

The Ta-152 at the NASM has been in and out of storage for periodic work and to repair areas of rot from long-term storage. It would be nice to see full time work begin with it. The Army Air Force was concerned about failure in the tail empennage and reinforced the Ta-152 tail with steel for test flying, so the NASM has a lot of repair work to do unless the tail feathers have already been corrected.

The quality of the preservation is just not up to standards available today and I think it may have been originally restored by volunteers in 1975. I am wondering if careful sanding and stencils to document traces of original markings had been made or it infrared photography would have been used back then. I understand that some corrections may have been repainted in 1994.

+Brendan Scully There are a few Dora projects out there but nothing flying yet. A couple of them will be based on the Flugwerk replica Fw-190A kits. The costs to get an authentic German engine flight certified is several factors higher than a typical Merlin rebuild and there aren't that many engines floating around out there. I think there's a Dora replica in Florida that is almost ready with an Allison V12. It's not possible to build the engines from scratch at this time, so if you crash one, it's done.

The aircraft in the video is not a Focke Wulf 190. It's probably a Messerscmidt 109. 190s were powered by BMW 14 cylinder radial engines. Not V12s.

Of the other two D series, one was destroyed in September 1945 during a demonstration flight and fatal to the 22-year-old American pilot. The other was damaged beyond repair during a taxi test and scrapped.
