It's amazing that these 80 year old planes look and run so well. In their design processes, I'm sure that no thought was put into "looking good", they were designed for pure functionality. Funny how something honed to ultimate performance inevitably can look beautiful.

@@maxsuarezmuller7186 Except the US was 40 miles from Berlin at the same time the Russians were 30-35 miles from Berlin! General Eisenhower being sentimental, decide to forgo the attack of Berlin! Initially General Eisenhower was going start with an Airborne Assault before the Armor and infantry initiated their attack! He decided to leave Berlin to the Russian because of 2 reasons. 1st Reason: General Eisenhower sympathized with Russian soldiers and civilians suffering when Leningrad, Stalingrad and Moscow was under siege and surrounded by the German (payback). He emphasized with the many Russian sacrifices and death in their defense! He also felt that the Russians should be the first ones to capture the city of Berlin! 2nd Reason: General Eisenhower understood the calculation and the possibility of many Allie forces casualties especially the surmountable death on Military both side and countless Civilian death! He also needed the soldiers fresh and ready for possible invasion of Japan! US and UK did bomb Berlin!!!
Spicy Booger he isn’t. German conscripts or pilots were never nazi. Neither the builders, only the SS. Whatever you say, the 109 is one of the best planes.
The 109 looks like shark ....deadly ....fast...powerful. The P-51 looks fast just tilting there ....sleek ... ...beautiful. I’ve been to many air shows but never any German WW2 fighters up close. Both planes look brand new I hope I look half as good 70+ years old!
I saw a ME262 in a barn about 40 years ago in Greencastle, Indiana. They also still have a V1 buzz bomb in their town square. I never did find out how they got there but I'm guessing some bigwig officer made it happen
Gave me new appreciation of the 109's. Knew they were awesome. Embrace them. But it is the P-51 "D" that still holds my fascination. For several decades a veteran pilot, living a couple miles south of me, owned one and flew it from a private airfield to our north. He'd fly the Invasion Day bar marked shiny Mustang south to go over his own neighborhood. Meant I could hear him coming and stop everything I was doing. Hear the Doppler tone rise as he neared, see him, watch him bank over his neighborhood, sometimes exiting directly over me, sunlight glistening off the skin, the Doppler effect now receding, the love of that P-51 D reinforced once again. P.S. My fraternal uncle spent the war in Texas. At age 13, well before WWII, had gotten his private pilot's license. With his headstart, he spent the war teaching pilots, the last years teaching combat pilots to fly P-51's! My legacy. My favorite aircraft ever.
Call me crazy, but my favs are P-51B's in olive drab, Bf-109G5's in a sort of purple camo, and any FW-190 flying with JG54, especially in the spring. Nowatney! 8-)

The wide undercarriage of the P51 made it more suitable for use in just about any kind of terrain. It could literally land in a farmers field, be resupplied and take off again to continue the fight. An impressive display of a fighter design that proved itself many many times over. Not to mention how good looking it is too of course.

Its incredible that there was over 30,000 109's built yet there are so few left. You'd think there should be 500 left flying around. Of course there was that whole war thing...........
@Солнцевская Братва True, that could be the case if it was a low altitude 1 v 1 fight. But remember, the P-51 mainly escorted bombers during the war and its engine provided the needed altitude performance and manifold pressure to keep that going, as well its high octane fuel; something the Bf 109 lacked.
Both are beautiful birds, but I have to say I am impartial to the BF-109. There's just something about the way it sounds and looks. What I would give to be up in one of those beauts.
I don’t know about you, but I find it freaking cool that two planes from the same war, different countries, both enemies to each other are now flying together (again) 70+ years later! Hard to believe these planes are almost 100 and the P-51’s style will never die
Erich Hartmann( 352 shoots), even though on the eastern front, shot down 7 Mustangs. But unlikely not ever Luftwaffe Pilot was a Erich Hartmann..Most of them was at the end neebies and had not really a chance. Also the numbers were 1:15..
Don't know for sure,but some sources claiming,that many of those "kills" come from aicrafts destroyed on the ground-mainly on eastern front...On the the other way it would be interesting to see,how many "kills" would get ie. Francis Gabreski,if he was in same use like Luftwaffe aces...in terms of number of flights per day and constant service.
P-51 looks like a pregnant seal with wings from many angles, but still beautiful. Bf 109 looks like it had to fight in a long war and score thousands of kills till the bitter end.
Tolles video!!! Both amazing planes and inventions at their time, 109 one the first to rule the sky, and the p-51, being a newly designed plane, also had its glory days in the war.
It's almost poetic to me with these two iconic planes. With the grey menacing color of the war machines Me-109 and the silvery justice of the allie's P-51. Amazing camera work and amazing video.
Are those authentic 109s? Just curious as the countries that lose wars tend to have most of their inventory destroyed. Here in the states, I've only seen a real Heinkel bomber (don't remember which variant) and a 2/3 scale replica Stuka. This year at WWII Weekend in Reading, Pennsylvania, I saw my first real Japanese Zero. Well, real body, but newer engine. Still pretty close.
That 109 does things to me, I’m German proud one at that and this plane is a show case of engineering and detail to the finest little thing. The camo paint scheme the placement of the national markings the noise of this plane is intoxicating
The 51 looks like a racing plane ie to win races. The 109 looks like a war machine. A plane designed to kill other planes. Hard to believe it was kicking ass in Spain, well before the BOB/WW2.
That's exactly what I thought, though not necessarily a sports plane. The P-51 looks more elegant and clean, while the 109 looks mean and ready for war. If I saw both planes coming at me while on the ground, I'd be more scared of the 109.
Fantastic video. Wow. That Packard (licensed by Rolls-Royce Merlin) engine sound. It helped win the Battle of Britain in the Hawker Hurricane and the Spitfire. The 109E looks mint, great markings, hard to believe it crashed.
I am in love with the P-51d....it's my favorite airplane of all time...the stylized lines...the sound of the Merlin engine...the murderyness of it 6 guns....oh sure some would say Hellcats and Corsairs are better...but I'm not one of them *EDIT* Thanks for not ruining the moment with some awful music...the sound of those planes was music enough
Hoa Tattis g-10 and g-14 were also good contenders, but they usually using gunpods to hunt bombers, but that increased a lot the weight and reduced the plane’s performance. The K version was probably even better than the mustang
We must remember that both aircraft were created at different times during the conflict of WWII, and pre war conflicts. That being said, the pilot has much to do with hunter vs the hunted. Both aircraft are flying artworks, but my heart will always favor the Bf-109 family. This is just my preference! Danke!
@@emersoncaicedo3146 the level of training varied greatly between the two countries, one was on the decline the other on the rise. The Experten continually grew their "kills", while the "green horns were lucky to survive the first encounters with the P-51. In the hands of such pilots as Hartmann, Bakhorn, and others, the Bf-109 was still considered a deadly foe, hence the comparison of hunter vs hunted. Salutations.
@@bluefox9436 I never said it wasn't. The k4 was too late in the war to make a difference. That being said, the k4 did fight against the p51d and it was superior to the p51d. The bf 109 in this video is a g series, and generally speaking the p51d is superior than the bf 109g6, which is the one in the video think.
I never thought either compared to the Spitfire but simply between the two: 109 is more manuverable, has better armament, can claim that it saw service through the entire war and still managed to be somewhat competitive P51 has the range, is easier on the pilot (wider landing gear, better canopy, etc), better looking, and more iconic to non-airplane enthusiasts
Depends where you are. The design of the 109 was over 7 years old when the mustang came to the troops. It was a time where the optimal solution wasn't so apparent. So, the 109 and british types were pioneering in this field. The mustang had the advantage that lots of experience from actual modern aerial combat went into its design. To me it is always a miracle how the the engineers at messerschmitt and FW could build competitive machines with so many limitations in available materials, relying on way lower octane fuels, weaker logistics to support all the operations.
FYI, The 109 all the way up to the K4 was a horse apiece with the spitfire. The K4 was faster and had a higher ceiling than any allied aircraft in WW2.
What a blast I had as a kid back in the early 60's when they had plastic model airplanes of these, I think by Revell. Testors, glue and paint, and bunches of parts so it wasn't just a snap together. Mustang, P-38, Spitfire, Hellcat, Daunless, Douglas, Thunderbolt, F-4U Corsair,, Zero, Komet, Folke Wolf, Dornier, B-24, B-17, B29 etc etc.
@@gnomechild3248 yes ethnicity matters, it's because an American couldn't come with a better design idea, that's what is burning you. And who said anything about engine design? Even the engine was borrowed from Britain, later was under licensed products . But the Germans did all by their own. With methanol water injection, the dB 605 reached at 711kmph, nearly cathched the mustang. And everyone knows about these two planes performance comparison. Mustangs had laminar wings and sleek design, therefore more maneuverable and faster for being more aerodynamic.
@@anindanath2420 "yes ethnicity matters, it's because an American couldn't come with a better design idea" What?? American isn't an ethnicity lmao. P-51 is not more maneuverable then the BF-109. Who cares about BF-109K when America had developed the P-51h which used the same water-methanol injection, need i tell you water-methanol injection is a British invention, so I've no idea why you'd use it in this argument.
Oh boy these two planes were two of the best used during the war. They were so effective that in combat it came down to pilots skills. The battles these two fighters had against each other were epic.
These 2 warbirds were hot in their day. Due to constant training and technology in the U.S., the USAAF had a better advantage over the well used and well worn German pilots who flew every mission unti lthey were either killed or taken prisoner. These 2 great planes were the pride of the their nations and in the hands of a seasoned pilot, both were quite formidable. These airshow videos surely bring back the sights, sounds and surrealness of their day. Back then a man had to fly his airplane, navigate, fight, conduct self defense maneuvering , then fly home. There was no woke agenda back then. A man knew he was a man and what was between his legs. And that was usually a high performance fighter plane used to fight his enemy. There was no gender confusion therapy back then. When one hears the growl of a V-12, it surely does something to the soul and reminds us of a time when men flew with a mission sense to defend their countries and to be courageous. You all havea blest day and remember who paid the price for your freedoms, liberties and national sovereignty. God bless all you aviation history lovers. Keep 'em flyin'!
Both beautiful, but the P-51D was just too pretty. I get the appeal. It was sleek and modern and those RR Merlin engines sounded so smooth. But I have always loved the rugged good looks of a 109 above all other fighters. Those DB 605 sounded great as well. I have give a nod to the 190A-8 with the BMW 801 radials. Those engines sound downright terrifying! That deep radical dragster popping. *shudder*
Packard motor. Not a single Rolls motor seen combat in a Mustang. It was an American improved and licensed built Rolls. Ford had to teach Rolls how to make the motor much earlier too in England and even set up a factory to show Rolls.
benjaminrapp Sorry old bean but NOT one RR Built merlin was used in a production P51 Merlin Mustang, ALL were made in and modified in AMERICA by PACKARD. and RR signed off on the changes for mass production. The V1650-3 & 7 & 9 &11 were very different from the RR versions and ONLY used in the Merlin Mustangs !!! Do the research and find out what was done !!!
One advantage the ME 109 had was that the MG could shoot through the propeller. The Mustang outside from the wing, but both war machines that were once designed for combat. There I am rather with a Pilatus PC-21 Greetings from Germany.
@Roy Lewis Hamilton could race you on the track with a 100 HP delivery van while you sit in a 500hp sports car and still get better times than you. Funny how a delivery van can beat a sports car.
@Roy yes, and I am happy that the US rarely had to face any enemy at his best. Its a good policy to join the fight after others almost finished the adversary. Best allied Air force goes to Britain, best allied ground forces good to the soviets, best special forces Britain again. Best truck drivers : USA, the best in logistics, that's for sure.
There was one glaring difference between the P51 Mustang and the Bf 109. It was this. By the time the yanks, with the benefit of years of training and unlimited resources, showed up (1944) in the P51, the Creme de la Creme of the Luftwaffe were gone, either killed by the RAF or the RED ARMY. The yanks went up against young men who were undertrained due to lack of fuel etc. The two aircraft were roughly equal, the aircrew were not.
Stewart Nicol There were "Yanks" slugging it out with the "Creme de la Creme" Luftwaffe pilots and were a part of eliminating them before the P51 and it's pilots showed up, the 56th fighter group with their P47's shure as hell shot their share of hot shot Luftwaffe aces out of the sky, it wasn't just the RAF and the RED ARMY that did it alone, maybe you should go to the graveyard at Cambridge and read some of the tombstones, look at the fighter groups and dates carved in them for the proof. With the exception of a few rarely fielded versions of the BF109 it was no match for the P51, the P51 could out climb the BF109 all week long and twice on Sunday, if you have equal amounts of fuel in each plane the P51 easily out climbs the BF109, the only reason that the BF109 has the climbing rate it does is for the same reason that the Spitfire does, the designers sacrificed fuel capacity and range for rate of climb, the P51 had an aft fuel tank that the BF109 and the Spit didn't, the engine of the P51 drew it's fuel from this tank for take off and climbing to altitude, after draining it they switched to their external stores and drew fuel from them for the long flight to where the Luftwaffe would come up to engage the bombers, then they'd jettison their drop tanks and in this configuration, which is the one they'd be in when they typically engaged the BF109's and they were at the altitudes that the engagements typically happened at, they could out perform them in every way. Everyone thinks the BF109 could out climb the P51 but that's because everyone always looks at their rate of climb from sea level with the P51's aft tank filled, the NACA reports show that when they're in the configurations that they typically met each other in combat the P51 out performs it all around. As far as exotic late war BF109's they weren't anything the P47's and the later upgraded Spits running the American 150 octane fuel couldn't take of. P47M's could close the gap on and destroy ME262's that were at full throttle and running away in level flight, there's several documented accounts of that happening. It wasn't green Luftwaffe pilots that were flying most of the jets and upgraded BF109's at the end of the war, it was mostly the last of their experienced pilots.
@@dukecraig2402 Small detail: Literally thousands of well rested US-Pilots in well maintained high performance planes against a handful of exhausted german pilots in planes made with very limited resources and sub-par fuel. It is good that the americans rarely ever had to face equal opponents in terms of equipment or numbers. Or it would be many more Kasserine Pass battles or Schweinfurt raids. The US were best at logistics due to their untouched production sites, unlimited raw material and manpower in their industry. They were a crucial supplier but you got to hand it to the british that really fought with their backs against the wall facing a fully functional and well prepared Luftwaffe. Politically the US always made the right choices, joining in when everybody else was totally exhausted and then claiming the win with minimal losses relatively speaking.
Exactly, pilot quality was not there for Germany when the primadonna 51 came along.Frightened kids with no combat training against seasoned allied pilots made the last year and a half a slaughter Galland tried in vain to stop.
What? It had no turbocharger, it had a supercharger. Various different factors made the p51 a great plane, not just the engine alone. It's slippery airframe and great design made it a force to be reckoned with.
Great video, two awesome warbirds. Wish I'd been there to see them in person. I have to somewhat disagree with one statement... They said the 109 was one of the most advanced designs of the Era. That's only partly true. It was very advanced when it was introduced in the 1930s, but the demands and advances of the war saw the 109 becoming almost obsolete by 1944. Many aircraft, British, American, and German, were far more advanced in design and aerodynamic technology than the venerable Bf109. Again, great video, great sounds.
People seem to forget that USAAAF did not want the p51D. It really was designed to meet RAF requirements and was purchased in such large numbers that the USAAAF could not get them, making do with spitfires for some time. So while it was American designed, the engine and specifications were British. Compared to the Spitfire (1st generation monoplane fighter) it was at least a 2nd generation design (possible 3rd).
I Love the Sound of those Beautiful Airplanes They Where Great the Mustang P51 was Equal to the Fokewolf 190 and the Messerchmith E109 but Not Match for the Eme 262 with the Turbine Engines 👍👍👍
Beautiful planes, both. Really, there were a lot of really great-looking planes in WWII. Spitfire, Corsair, Lightning, Warhawk, Zero, Yak ... all gorgeous. Hard to pick a favorite.

Tolles video!!! Both amazing planes and inventions at their time, 109 one the first to rule the sky, and the p-51, being a newly designed plane, also had its glory days in the war.
It's almost poetic to me with these two iconic planes. With the grey menacing color of the war machines Me-109 and the silvery justice of the allie's P-51. Amazing camera work and amazing video.
Always been impressed with German engineering but the p- 51 is just too badass!!
WOW ,what a beautiful sound ,just music for the ears,can"t get enough of it (BF-109)
thanks uploader
i just love the howl of the 109.
And I love the howl of the p51...
@@Exestential40 there is no howl xD
The p51 howl in general. Not the actual video 😑
@@Exestential40 oh ok sorry
Grounded cheespuffs 1 okay dude you dont need to say that you love the P-51s howl. People have they’re own opinion.
What beautiful aircraft both of these are! I appreciate each one and we all should value this bit of history.
I love the looks of the 109 and the engine of the 51
Are those authentic 109s? Just curious as the countries that lose wars tend to have most of their inventory destroyed. Here in the states, I've only seen a real Heinkel bomber (don't remember which variant) and a 2/3 scale replica Stuka. This year at WWII Weekend in Reading, Pennsylvania, I saw my first real Japanese Zero. Well, real body, but newer engine. Still pretty close.
These are the real Planes
Both are awesome! What sounds. P-51 has the advantage of later technical knowledge from companies that were not being bombed every day.
Cause the Luftwaffe didn’t have a four-engined heavy bomber comparable to B-17.
@@samanli-tw3id me 264 was in development but only 2 were built
@@Ori--pw5vw Plus, the Luftwaffe focused on tactical bombing rather than strategic bombing which the B-17 was suited for.
p51 is the slickest looking piston fighter ever imo. All wwii warbirds truly are art.
KnifeSmith wasn't a bad name for something that cut through the air..lol (messer=knife schmitt=smith)
That 109 does things to me, I’m German proud one at that and this plane is a show case of engineering and detail to the finest little thing. The camo paint scheme the placement of the national markings the noise of this plane is intoxicating
TY mate
marc BUT the Germans got their collective @$$'s kicked in WWII !!!!
What an incredible sound.
Love that signature howl of the supercharger on the 109.......
The 51 looks like a racing plane ie to win races. The 109 looks like a war machine. A plane designed to kill other planes. Hard to believe it was kicking ass in Spain, well before the BOB/WW2.
That's exactly what I thought, though not necessarily a sports plane. The P-51 looks more elegant and clean, while the 109 looks mean and ready for war. If I saw both planes coming at me while on the ground, I'd be more scared of the 109.
I dont know how they designed such majestic piece of art
But i know they loved and enjoyed their job
I’ve came for the sweet engine sounds of both planes
Thank you for not trying to passively support Nazism
Spicy Booger ???
@First name Last name lmao
The sound of both that Merlin engine and that Daimler-Benz engine are like music to the ears. Cheers!
I love the 109. And the Focke-Wulf 190D, and the Do-335. The Germans made the coolest and fastest planes of the war, without doubt.
The P-51D was faster, I believe. And had a vastly longer range.
@@sirrathersplendid4825 Not faster than a Do-335.
Fantastic video. Wow. That Packard (licensed by Rolls-Royce Merlin) engine sound. It helped win the Battle of Britain in the Hawker Hurricane and the Spitfire. The 109E looks mint, great markings, hard to believe it crashed.
I am in love with the P-51d....it's my favorite airplane of all time...the stylized lines...the sound of the Merlin engine...the murderyness of it 6 guns....oh sure some would say Hellcats and Corsairs are better...but I'm not one of them
*EDIT* Thanks for not ruining the moment with some awful music...the sound of those planes was music enough
Hard to just pick one. I want to see a kill ratio and choose from that.
Who the hell would say a hellcat is better? Lol
P-51 Mustang = 710 km/h , Bf-109 = 640 km/h. Any questions ?
Only the K series could match and beat the P51 but there were not many of them
Yes Ressources were Short These days
Hoa Tattis g-10 and g-14 were also good contenders, but they usually using gunpods to hunt bombers, but that increased a lot the weight and reduced the plane’s performance. The K version was probably even better than the mustang
@@ferrarisuper Not enough and too late
in dogfights the Gustav 109 was better than a p-51 when lower than about 4000m/14000 feet
@@lunics9808 No Read Eric Brown Wings of the Luftwaffe where it was tested at all altitudes and it was beaten
Great video. I enjoyed to hear the engines, and see them fly.
We must remember that both aircraft were created at different times during the conflict of WWII, and pre war conflicts. That being said, the pilot has much to do with hunter vs the hunted. Both aircraft are flying artworks, but my heart will always favor the Bf-109 family. This is just my preference! Danke!
Thx
These 2 birds frequently fought against each other during the war so the comparison is valid.
@@emersoncaicedo3146 the level of training varied greatly between the two countries, one was on the decline the other on the rise. The Experten continually grew their "kills", while the "green horns were lucky to survive the first encounters with the P-51. In the hands of such pilots as Hartmann, Bakhorn, and others, the Bf-109 was still considered a deadly foe, hence the comparison of hunter vs hunted. Salutations.
@@emersoncaicedo3146 K4 is also a valid comparison...
@@bluefox9436 I never said it wasn't. The k4 was too late in the war to make a difference. That being said, the k4 did fight against the p51d and it was superior to the p51d. The bf 109 in this video is a g series, and generally speaking the p51d is superior than the bf 109g6, which is the one in the video think.
Thank you , just love the sound of those engines.
Enjoyed
BF 109 , its powerful sounds engine 👍
Just beautiful..... all I can say. Thank you so much for sharing this video.
Thanks watching
Sweet sound to that P-51 Mustang engine!
The p-51 looks like a movie's dashing protagonist, whereas the 109 would be the fast, deadly opponent. Both so amazing, especially after 80 years.
I never thought either compared to the Spitfire but simply between the two:
109 is more manuverable, has better armament, can claim that it saw service through the entire war and still managed to be somewhat competitive
P51 has the range, is easier on the pilot (wider landing gear, better canopy, etc), better looking, and more iconic to non-airplane enthusiasts
Thanks mate for watching
Depends where you are. The design of the 109 was over 7 years old when the mustang came to the troops. It was a time where the optimal solution wasn't so apparent. So, the 109 and british types were pioneering in this field. The mustang had the advantage that lots of experience from actual modern aerial combat went into its design. To me it is always a miracle how the the engineers at messerschmitt and FW could build competitive machines with so many limitations in available materials, relying on way lower octane fuels, weaker logistics to support all the operations.
FYI, The 109 all the way up to the K4 was a horse apiece with the spitfire. The K4 was faster and had a higher ceiling than any allied aircraft in WW2.
What a blast I had as a kid back in the early 60's when they had plastic model airplanes of these, I think by Revell. Testors, glue and paint, and bunches of parts so it wasn't just a snap together. Mustang, P-38, Spitfire, Hellcat, Daunless, Douglas, Thunderbolt, F-4U Corsair,, Zero, Komet, Folke Wolf, Dornier, B-24, B-17, B29 etc etc.
"When I saw those P51s over Berlin, I knew it was over."
-Hermann Goering
@@rama7267 True
Silly, actually they all knew it was over much earlier, when there wеre no yanks in Europe yet.
that whistle from those engines gets me every time bro those are amazing
Say what you like but the Germans knew how to make an engine.
Not really, The Germans had a bigger engine then the p-51, but the p-51 outran the 109 at any altitude, and it weighted more then the 109.
@@gnomechild3248 and who designed the p51 anyway? A German. Edger schmued
@@anindanath2420 America's a country of immigrants so your point doesn't really matter. Plus, he didn't design the engine lmao, he designed the plane.
@@gnomechild3248 yes ethnicity matters, it's because an American couldn't come with a better design idea, that's what is burning you. And who said anything about engine design? Even the engine was borrowed from Britain, later was under licensed products . But the Germans did all by their own. With methanol water injection, the dB 605 reached at 711kmph, nearly cathched the mustang. And everyone knows about these two planes performance comparison. Mustangs had laminar wings and sleek design, therefore more maneuverable and faster for being more aerodynamic.
@@anindanath2420 "yes ethnicity matters, it's because an American couldn't come with a better design idea" What?? American isn't an ethnicity lmao. P-51 is not more maneuverable then the BF-109. Who cares about BF-109K when America had developed the P-51h which used the same water-methanol injection, need i tell you water-methanol injection is a British invention, so I've no idea why you'd use it in this argument.
Oh boy these two planes were two of the best used during the war. They were so effective that in combat it came down to pilots skills. The battles these two fighters had against each other were epic.
The Germans sure pumped out some of the best looking weapons, from the bf109, me262, ju 87 to the tiger tank, mg 42, the Bismarck and Scharnhorst.
These 2 warbirds were hot in their day. Due to constant training and technology in the U.S., the USAAF had a better advantage over the well used and well worn German pilots who flew every mission unti lthey were either killed or taken prisoner. These 2 great planes were the pride of the their nations and in the hands of a seasoned pilot, both were quite formidable. These airshow videos surely bring back the sights, sounds and surrealness of their day. Back then a man had to fly his airplane, navigate, fight, conduct self defense maneuvering , then fly home. There was no woke agenda back then. A man knew he was a man and what was between his legs. And that was usually a high performance fighter plane used to fight his enemy. There was no gender confusion therapy back then. When one hears the growl of a V-12, it surely does something to the soul and reminds us of a time when men flew with a mission sense to defend their countries and to be courageous. You all havea blest day and remember who paid the price for your freedoms, liberties and national sovereignty. God bless all you aviation history lovers. Keep 'em flyin'!
Even though I'm British and I love merlins, not gonna lie but the sound of the DB gives me chills
Reiner deine Videos sind das beste bei TH-cam
Both beautiful, but the P-51D was just too pretty. I get the appeal. It was sleek and modern and those RR Merlin engines sounded so smooth. But I have always loved the rugged good looks of a 109 above all other fighters. Those DB 605 sounded great as well. I have give a nod to the 190A-8 with the BMW 801 radials. Those engines sound downright terrifying! That deep radical dragster popping. *shudder*
Packard motor. Not a single Rolls motor seen combat in a Mustang. It was an American improved and licensed built Rolls. Ford had to teach Rolls how to make the motor much earlier too in England and even set up a factory to show Rolls.
benjaminrapp Sorry old bean but NOT one RR Built merlin was used in a production P51 Merlin Mustang, ALL were made in and modified in AMERICA by PACKARD. and RR signed off on the changes for mass production. The V1650-3 & 7 & 9 &11 were very different from the RR versions and ONLY used in the Merlin Mustangs !!! Do the research and find out what was done !!!
I'm Italian and I had the opportunity to see a real m210 and bf109 in Munich omg what a feeling to see a real one!
Both are really beautiful airplanes. I wish I could fly one of those. Its a dream :)
One advantage the ME 109 had was that the MG could shoot through the propeller. The Mustang outside from the wing, but both war machines that were once designed for combat.
There I am rather with a Pilatus PC-21
Greetings from Germany.
you can just tell from the sound of the engine just how smoother the Mustang was
But Messerschmitt is already direct injected
@Yee Memes of course it can hahaha shut up
@Roy Lewis Hamilton could race you on the track with a 100 HP delivery van while you sit in a 500hp sports car and still get better times than you. Funny how a delivery van can beat a sports car.
@Roy yes, and I am happy that the US rarely had to face any enemy at his best. Its a good policy to join the fight after others almost finished the adversary. Best allied Air force goes to Britain, best allied ground forces good to the soviets, best special forces Britain again. Best truck drivers : USA, the best in logistics, that's for sure.
What an honor it would be to fly these legends of military aviation
There was one glaring difference between the P51 Mustang and the Bf 109. It was this. By the time the yanks, with the benefit of years of training and unlimited resources, showed up (1944) in the P51, the Creme de la Creme of the Luftwaffe were gone, either killed by the RAF or the RED ARMY. The yanks went up against young men who were undertrained due to lack of fuel etc. The two aircraft were roughly equal, the aircrew were not.
Yes and German fuel was not as good
@@Warbirds the C3 fuel was - but it was very limited since even average fuel was a pretty big problem for the Luftwaffe at this time
Stewart Nicol
There were "Yanks" slugging it out with the "Creme de la Creme" Luftwaffe pilots and were a part of eliminating them before the P51 and it's pilots showed up, the 56th fighter group with their P47's shure as hell shot their share of hot shot Luftwaffe aces out of the sky, it wasn't just the RAF and the RED ARMY that did it alone, maybe you should go to the graveyard at Cambridge and read some of the tombstones, look at the fighter groups and dates carved in them for the proof.
With the exception of a few rarely fielded versions of the BF109 it was no match for the P51, the P51 could out climb the BF109 all week long and twice on Sunday, if you have equal amounts of fuel in each plane the P51 easily out climbs the BF109, the only reason that the BF109 has the climbing rate it does is for the same reason that the Spitfire does, the designers sacrificed fuel capacity and range for rate of climb, the P51 had an aft fuel tank that the BF109 and the Spit didn't, the engine of the P51 drew it's fuel from this tank for take off and climbing to altitude, after draining it they switched to their external stores and drew fuel from them for the long flight to where the Luftwaffe would come up to engage the bombers, then they'd jettison their drop tanks and in this configuration, which is the one they'd be in when they typically engaged the BF109's and they were at the altitudes that the engagements typically happened at, they could out perform them in every way.
Everyone thinks the BF109 could out climb the P51 but that's because everyone always looks at their rate of climb from sea level with the P51's aft tank filled, the NACA reports show that when they're in the configurations that they typically met each other in combat the P51 out performs it all around.
As far as exotic late war BF109's they weren't anything the P47's and the later upgraded Spits running the American 150 octane fuel couldn't take of.
P47M's could close the gap on and destroy ME262's that were at full throttle and running away in level flight, there's several documented accounts of that happening.
It wasn't green Luftwaffe pilots that were flying most of the jets and upgraded BF109's at the end of the war, it was mostly the last of their experienced pilots.
@@dukecraig2402 Small detail: Literally thousands of well rested US-Pilots in well maintained high performance planes against a handful of exhausted german pilots in planes made with very limited resources and sub-par fuel. It is good that the americans rarely ever had to face equal opponents in terms of equipment or numbers. Or it would be many more Kasserine Pass battles or Schweinfurt raids. The US were best at logistics due to their untouched production sites, unlimited raw material and manpower in their industry. They were a crucial supplier but you got to hand it to the british that really fought with their backs against the wall facing a fully functional and well prepared Luftwaffe. Politically the US always made the right choices, joining in when everybody else was totally exhausted and then claiming the win with minimal losses relatively speaking.
Exactly, pilot quality was not there for Germany when the primadonna 51 came along.Frightened kids with no combat training against seasoned allied pilots made the last year and a half a slaughter Galland tried in vain to stop.
Great show, please continue!
TY
I just love bf 109...
Both sounded great, and flowen very very smoothly
Thanks, liking and subscribing
No questions asked the turbocharger was the secret to the p-51. Quicker start and higher flight surprised the 109’sand put many in the ground.
Yes
I thought the Germans thought they were average.
Turbocharger must have been a well kept secret. Every Mustang I ever heard of was supercharged.
@@ericcoleson7410 Same, I never heard of a Mustang being Turbo charged.
What? It had no turbocharger, it had a supercharger. Various different factors made the p51 a great plane, not just the engine alone. It's slippery airframe and great design made it a force to be reckoned with.
Great video, two awesome warbirds. Wish I'd been there to see them in person.
I have to somewhat disagree with one statement...
They said the 109 was one of the most advanced designs of the Era. That's only partly true. It was very advanced when it was introduced in the 1930s, but the demands and advances of the war saw the 109 becoming almost obsolete by 1944. Many aircraft, British, American, and German, were far more advanced in design and aerodynamic technology than the venerable Bf109.
Again, great video, great sounds.
And still is the Fighter With More Confirmed kills in the history of the Air Warfare
sweet birds wowzers!!
i didnt hear the mustang "whistle" tho....were the holes capped off?
What's that mean, the supercharger inlets????
@@robertelmo7736 oops i meant the machinegun holes in the leading edges on the wings
LOL I didn't know if they restricted the supercharger boost to make the engines go longer lol...
People seem to forget that USAAAF did not want the p51D. It really was designed to meet RAF requirements and was purchased in such large numbers that the USAAAF could not get them, making do with spitfires for some time. So while it was American designed, the engine and specifications were British.
Compared to the Spitfire (1st generation monoplane fighter) it was at least a 2nd generation design (possible 3rd).
Fantastic Flybys by two WW2 Icons!!
Thanks
I Love the Sound of those Beautiful Airplanes They Where Great the Mustang P51 was Equal to the Fokewolf 190 and the Messerchmith E109 but Not Match for the Eme 262 with the Turbine Engines 👍👍👍
The sound of that P-51D Mustang is simply mechanical music to my ears!
Beautiful planes, both. Really, there were a lot of really great-looking planes in WWII. Spitfire, Corsair, Lightning, Warhawk, Zero, Yak ... all gorgeous. Hard to pick a favorite.
