To think that these amazing warbirds were once considered , cutting edge technology .... aviation was practically still in it's infancy and pressurized aircraft was still in the test phases .... total respect to the many men & women that flew during this conflict . I had the very good fortune to experience first hand what it might have felt like as a waist gunner , on board a B-17 , Flying Fortress named " Sentimental Journey " a few years back .

Me and my son visited PoF in Chino Cal., back in 1992. Steve Hinton came out to greet us and to welcome us to the museum. He was very enthusiastic and such a great person.Later on I learnt the he flew most of the warbirds at that location. Some people make the best of everything in life....Best wishes to him and that wonderful place..!
At the 2:17 time mark with yellow cockpit ID letters "CD" is "Betsy's Biscuit Bomber", an all original C-47B built in 1943. It was flown from Paso Robles California making whistle stops along the way over a months time. It flew to Duxford England, coming by way of the Greenland route. The aircraft is part of the Estrella Warbirds Museum collection here in Paso Robles California USA. This aircraft's last U.S. missions were flying the Berlin Airlift, it was sold to Israel and was later purchased back from the Israeli Air Force and refurbished/preserved. There is a hand painted Hebrew language sign on the lavatory door that roughly translates to, "The only replacement for a Dakota, is another Dakota". The plane was a military transport it's whole life and never converted for civilian use. It still has all of it's original equipment to include flight controls, radios, navigator gear, paratrooper jump seats, the large desert sand shields atop each engine nacelles and the gear used for towing combat gliders in Europe during WWII.
THIS -190 is a replica built in the late 2000s by Flug+Werk in Germany. The engine is a P&W R-2800 on a special mount. Hence the slightly "odd" appearance of the cowling because it is larger than the original BMW, as well as the Chinese engines used in other Flug+Werk -190s.
Dang I love those p-38's.. the others.. spitfire, me 109, p 51 there nice to.... But my heart has always belonged to the p 38.. ever since I first saw one fly in my youth.. Fabulous! Thanks for the share... and please carry on!
My dad was in RAF Bomber Command in the Far East in WW2. For a time he had an American pilot who fortunately had been a Barn Storming pilot in the 30s. One day they couldn't land the Hudson at the aerodrome, so were forced to pancake into the Selaper(?) River with my dad still signalling on the radio. Two guys climbed into the life raft and were spun away down river. Dad and the Yank dived into the river and swam to the shore where they were met by three or four Ghandi lookalikes, who, very politely, insisted on holding umbrellas over the heads of these sodden airmen as they escorted them to the railway station. En route they told them that the river was full of crocodiles! Oh, the other two guys were picked up later. Love to hear the old propellors - always rush out of doors to watch our Battle of Britain Memorial Flight when I hear those engines.
i live near geneseo NY. we have a yearly airshow. every year a C47 (w7) drops paratroopers at the airshow. W7 is a combat survivor. this year i took my wife and 8 year old son for a ride on that C47. the DC3 you are seeing is actually a C47. C47 was the army air-force designation for their varaiant of the DC3. it had cargo doors large enough to accommodate a jeep and strengthened floors vs. the civilian DC3 and the navy used the designation R4D. basically they share the same air-frame...... best airplane ever built, hundreds still in regular use today.
@@ad356 I agree completely....I dare say...arguably the most significant aircraft to date. Others have set other hight marks...but will they be flying near a century?
@@danielledykgraaf6483 Wonder how many modern airlines were founded on the back of world's most dependable aircraft the DC3 Dakota AND STILL DOING SO!!!
To the good people at POF, the Mustang MK 1 looks to be well cared for and the classic Allison exhaust note.... sublime. It is especially nice that she proudly were's the uniform of RCAF 414 Sqdn " Black Knight" . " City of Sarnia " Squadron motto " Totis Viribis " With all our might. The crowning touch is to see the Maple Leaf on her port side. Thanks for the great video. Cheers.
Airplanes still amaze me! I've only flown a Piper Cub! I have been on plenty of commercial prop and jet planes,...since the 1950's, on. I managed to get to Mach .98, once,...as a passenger.
That P-51 next to the FW190 is an early Allison engined "A" model. You can tell by the air intake on top of the cowl. This must be one of the very few "A" models that survived the war. Many of them were scrapped by the middle of WW2.
@@hugosimonsen6340 Hey dumb ass !!! The P51A was a winner when first introduced !!! There was NO faster fighter or any other plane THEN !!! They hit 400 MPH as an example the first ones in England were 30 MPH FASTER than the THEN CURRENT shitfire Mk V !!!!! Mustang A hit 400 MPH @ 20,000 Ft Shitfire Mk V 368 @ 10,000 FT !!! See RAF MUSTANGS here on You TUBE to see what the Brits thought of their new fighter via the BBC !!!!
You ALWAYS do such a phenomenal job with the video's you make!! Thank you for this GREAT footage. It's always nice to hear the roar of Radial Engine's and of course the V-12's. Keep up the great work my friend. Looking forward to seeing more from ya. 👍👍(I hope you're at the Reno Air Race's this year!!)
So nice seeing propeller driven aircraft with the proper prop wash. So tired of seeing props that look static or in slow motion in flight and on the ground. That's what adds to the grace of a propeller driven aircraft. Thank you for posting and God Bless from Florida.
@@hopelessnerd6677 I feel your pain about the propellors. When I was a child I used to hate seeing Western movies where the 35mm cameras and projectors made the wagon wheels look like they were spinning backwards. I guess every generation needs something trivial to gets its tits in a tangle about.
The "Mustang" w/ the allison engine is I believe an A36 formerly of the Champlin collection. They had a unique dive-brake system where a "fence" extended from the top of each wing in order to slow the a/c while diving.It was complicated and if this a/c once was so equipped, probably has been deactivated.
Martha Vaughan No, this one is definitely an A model, it’s the only true A model still flying and has been owned by the Planes of Fame air museum for many many years. Most of Champlin’s museum aircraft are now with the museum in Seattle with the exception of the FW-190 D13 that is owned now by Paul Allen’s museum.
This video showed me that every Mustang is beautfiul(I didn‘t like early versions like P-51/Mustang Mk In and P-51A/Mustang Mk II). Like I said this video opened my eyes to the beauty of the early Mustang versions. Thank you for posting this video about these beautiful machines! Have a nice das and stay safe!
PoF puts on a helluva show year after year. Hellcats & Zeros, Saberjets & MiGs, even Fokker Tripes and Sopwith Camels going at it. Spits, Sea Furies, Bearcats, Tigercats, Skyraiders, even Peashooters. What's not to love?
It's amazing to think that in just 20 years from now, most of these warbirds will have been flying 100 years! Hopefully they fly another 100 for future generations to see and admire.
Best video, no music just the sound of those beefy engines of Mercedes Benz, Rolls Royce, Packard, Pratt Whitney. Those engines mostly carbureted except for the MB that were fired injected, served it's purpose even without today's computerized engines that we have in our cars that suddenly won't start or display "check engine" light on and other maladies that require to plug an OBD tester under the dashboard to get the engine codes. None of them existed during those times, yet these planes performed and delivered us to either victory or defeat.
The best thing about PoF museum is that most of the aircraft there aren't static, they actually fly! They also keep these old warbirds in beautiful condition, as seen here in the video
Those planes wouldn't be flying without Redbull sponsoring them.... I hated it at first, too, but then realized that it was financed by Redbull entirely... MILLIONS of dollars of my money? You bet your arse my name is going on it...
Beautiful job done by PoF to fit the R-2800 under the cowling of the 190. It is noticeable, but still on first glance looks original. To bad "Lefty's" P-38 is in Europe, I always enjoyed her ringing whistle doing her routine and flying the Pylons at Reno. I see the "Connie" in the background, Resto underway yet? Great selection on the vid, always a pleasure - Thanks!
@@garynew9637 At one period it did. But the R-2800 was added due to its reliability, ease of maintenance, parts availability & many with zero hours on them, the switch was made.
I know an old Farmer from Austrian/Europe who built a replica of an Arado 96 Trainer from WWII but I didn't know that there is a original still airworthy.
@@FiveCentsPlease You are right. Because of the nose of the propeller I was sure it is an Arado 96. But the propeller, the engine and the concept is from the Arado 96. It was built in Switzerland and used till 1980 in theyr airforce as trainer.
Fantastic engine sounds! Loved the FW-190 and P51 Mustang! Does anyone know if there are any surviving Junkers 87 Stuka dive bombers still flying in these POF airshows?
sean kelly There is a Stuka that is close to flying. warbirdsnews.com/aviation-museum-news/junkers-ju-87-unveiled-at-flying-heritage-combat-armor-museum-hangar-opening.html
+sean kelly Several Ju-88s are in static restoration. Paul Allen's museum may possibly have a Ju-88 in progress, but this has not been confirmed as true and remains a rumor. Allen's museum will say when they are ready. It was known for a while that the museum had a Stuka wreck but the project was no officially announced until late last year.
@soaringtractor I never did say that he took his planes to other airshows!!! They only fly them in close proximity, like circuits. The collection has closed its doors, no-one knows for how long, or if its ever going to open. They do have a Stuka, Kermit Weeks did a video where he goes round the museum and shows the Ju87 very well. I think everyone and his Auntie knows Paul Allen died, sent ripples through the aircraft restoration scene. I do wish you would read my post before commenting!!!!
There is a 190 in New Zealand. It crashed on landing at the Classic Fighters Omaka 2015 air show - it ground looped and wiped the undercarriage off and damaged the engine when the prop hit the ground. It went into the repair shop at Omaka and was back in the air for this year's CFO. It's a great sight and sound when it's up and flying.
The wife and I are planning on moving to Ca. at some point in the next few years. I'm going to try to be at as many of these shows as I can. We don't have anything like this in east Tn.
Hate to break the news to you. But many are fleeing the People’s Republic of Kalifornia. And they are moving to Tn. Cost of living is much cheaper. Many move as soon as they retire. They have to because they can’t afford to live there.
Red 13 I have a former team mate who retired from law enforcement. He lives in Corona. He said as soon as his son graduates from high school they are moving. He said Tn is their top pick.
During the Mustang Mk. I's successful combat initiation, North American's president Howard "Dutch" Kindelberger pressed the newly redesignated U.S. Army Air Forces (USAAF) for a fighter contract for the essentially similar P-51, 93 of which had passed into the USAAF when the Lend-Lease contract with Britain ran out of funds. The Mustang IA/P-51 used four 20 mm Hispano wing cannon in place of the original armament, a combination of four wing-mounted .30 caliber (7.62 mm) M1919 Browning machine guns and four .50 caliber (12.7 mm) M2 Browning machine guns, two of which were mounted in the wings, while the second pair was mounted in the "chin", or lower engine cowling, and synchronized to fire through the propeller. No funds were available for new fighter contracts in fiscal year 1942, but General Oliver P. Echols and Fighter Project Officer Benjamin S. Kelsey[4] wanted to ensure that the P-51 remained in production.[5] Since appropriations were available for an attack aircraft, Echols specified modifications to the P-51 to turn it into a dive bomber. The contract for 500 A-36A aircraft fitted with bomb racks, dive brakes, and heavier-duty wing, was signed by Kelsey on 16 April 1942,[6] even before the first flight of the first production P-51 in May 1942.[7] With orders on the books, North American Aviation (NAA) began modifying the P-51 to accept the bomb shackles which had already been tested in a "long-range ferry" program that the RAF had stipulated.[8] Engineering studies totaling 40,000 hours and wind tunnel testing with a ⅛-scale model were completed in June 1942. Utilizing the basic P-51 airframe and Allison engine, structural reinforcing "beefed up" several high stress areas and "a set of hydraulically operated dive brakes were installed in each main wing plane".[9] Due to the slightly inboard placement of the bomb racks and unique installation of four cast aluminum dive brakes, a complete redesign of the P-51 wing was required.[6] A-36A production line at NAA Inglewood, October 1942. The first A-36A (42-83663) was rolled out of the NAA Inglewood plant in September 1942, rapidly going through flight testing with the first flight in October, with deliveries commencing soon after of the first production machines. The A-36A continued the use of nose-mounted .50 in (12.7 mm) machine guns along with wing armament of four .50 in (12.7 mm) caliber machine guns. The USAAF envisaged that the dive bomber would operate mainly at altitudes below 12,000 ft (3,658 m) and specified the use of a sea level-rated Allison V-1710-87, driving a 10 ft 9 in (3.28 m)-diameter three bladed Curtiss-Electric propeller and delivering 1,325 hp (988 kW) at 3,000 ft (914 m).[10] The main air scoop inlet was redesigned to become a fixed unit with a larger opening, replacing the earlier scoop which could be lowered into the airstream. In addition the A-36 carburetor air intake was later fitted with a tropical air filter to stop sand and grit being ingested into the engine.[6][11] The USAAF later ordered 310 P-51As, which were essentially A-36s without the dive-brakes and nose mounted weapons, leaving an armament of four wing-mounted 0.50 in (12.7 mm) Browning machine guns.[12] An Allison V-1710-81 1,200 hp (895 kW) was fitted and used the same radiator and air intake as the A-36A. The P-51A was still fitted with bomb racks although it was not intended to be used primarily as a fighter-bomber and the racks were mainly used to carry drop tanks.[12][13] Operational history

Looking through the comments below No one mentioned the P - 51 B / C in British paint scheme . Until the ME - 190 moved I thought it may have been a Spitfire . Witch would be nice to see . I'm surprised that one was still flying . Great Video . Keep up the good work .

Because I was an honorary member of the Confederate Air Force flying Museum back in the 80s . Also I've researched an there is NO surviving P - 51 A's they were the first aircraft to be called the Apache and it was designed as a Dive Bomber .
@@johnrettig1880 You are wrong !!!! USAAF Ordered 500 A36's as a DIVE BOMBER because the USAAF had money for ATTACK aircraft but not for fighters!!! This to keep the North American assembly line open after North American delivered the 620 Mustang mkI's to the Brits !!!! A36's were first calles Apaches but later they just became Mustangs !!!! USAAF then ordered the P51A as a fighter all allison Powered as that was THE only V12 Available in the USA untill Packard got the contract for 6000 Merlins for the Brits and 3,000 for the USA. That being 1942 when production got started and these Merlins were stillthe SINGLE stage supercharged version Packard built the first V1650-3 in mid 1942 and the XP51B flew in Nov 1942 and in production 1943 !!!

There is a Pilatus P-2 at 11:14 I don't think the German had it but can be mistaken. I understand it can serve a some "generic" german luftwaffe airplane, but Pilatus is a Swiss company.
The Pilatus didn't even see service during WW2. It didn't start flying with the Swiss Air Force until 1946. It looks enough like those WW2 German fighters to be used as such in several movies. One of the Indiana Jones films, as a matter of fact, used a couple.
LOVE THIS! ... course all it's missing, and this is NOT a complaint, simply my opinion .. is .. a Messerschmitt Bf 109/E or G with the inverted Daimler Benz V12. THAT would complete this near perfect symphony! LOVE IT regardless!
+Lonewolf SWE Not counting Buchons, there are only three flyable Bf-109s in North America and one of those is fitted with an Allison. It's unlikely any DB engined examples will fly far from their home museums because of operating costs.
Amazing how much quieter the P-38’s are a than all the rest. Of course because their turbos were exhaust driven, that muffled the sound quite a bit. Especially compared to the radial engined, supercharged FW-190 and even the supercharged P-51’s!
It's interesting to see how things change right ? Thankfully we now have the chance to see all those eagles from both sides flying again...and together ! :D
Yes, the sounds of war are very frighting. So lets enjoy and honour them all ole warbirds. I respect every pilot with flight them, for every air forces.
@daAnder71 I have autism and think and talk differently than most people who don't have autism, one of my obsessive interests is airplanes which I'm very knowledgeable, wasn't paying attention when I typed American twice, I write on TH-cam comments literally what I'm thinking after watching videos on my tablet
If you're actually watching this you don't need any on screen captions as to what is what. And as you have said "Replica" you truly should provide the date of construction, where and by whom and what power plant is used.
+Paul Lubliner In this case the Fw-190 is a "custom" replica. Flugwerk was the manufacturer, but provided them to buyers as unassembled kits to be completed. The customer installs all electrics, hydraulics and avionics to their own specification. One customer has installed an all-glass instrument cluster which looks kinda tacky for a Fw-190. The kit comes with an engine--the Russian/Chinese ASh-82. With the replica above, they customer was Rudy Frasca and they decided to ditch the ASh engine and install an R-2800. The date constructed is when the customer finishes. Flugwerk made 21 kits, but only 8 or 9 of them have been fully constructed to flying.

+Mark Burkley The Flugwerk Fw-190 replicas are sold to buyers with the Russian/Chinese ASh-82 radial, a good substitute in dimensions and power for the rare BMW-801. However the buyer of this Flugwerk did decide to hang a P&W R-2800 up front instead. It's not that the manuals/specs for the BMW-801 are lost, it's that there are very little 801 stuff left around to use. Only one 801 is flying and a second will be in air soon. There isn't much BMW stuff out there. Like many WW2 engines, the factory tooling used to manufacture those powerplants does not survive to make parts and new engines.

That P-51 next to the FW190 is an early Allison engined "A" model.
You can tell by the air intake on top of the cowl. This must be one
of the very few "A" models that survived the war. Many of them were
scrapped by the middle of WW2.
This is the only authentic A model flying.
James Henry the later models of the P51 had a "bubble " canopy better vision for the pilot
james powell And a British Merlin engine that made the plane into the ‘winner’ it was!
@@hugosimonsen6340 Hey dumb ass !!! The P51A was a winner when first introduced !!! There was NO faster fighter or any other plane THEN !!! They hit 400 MPH as an example the first ones in England were 30 MPH FASTER than the THEN CURRENT shitfire Mk V !!!!! Mustang A hit 400 MPH @ 20,000 Ft Shitfire Mk V 368 @ 10,000 FT !!! See RAF MUSTANGS here on You TUBE to see what the Brits thought of their new fighter via the BBC !!!!

You ALWAYS do such a phenomenal job with the video's you make!! Thank you for this GREAT footage. It's always nice to hear the roar of Radial Engine's and of course the V-12's. Keep up the great work my friend. Looking forward to seeing more from ya. 👍👍(I hope you're at the Reno Air Race's this year!!)
Overheard in the Mustang I’s cockpit: “Oh Focke, there’s a Butcher Bird on my tail!” 😂 Love that FW-190 replica!
FW-190 what a good looking machine.
I find it hard to evaluate my favorite one ....a fascinating filming dear Voodoo1650, thank you very much .Cheers from Croatia.
I have a Croatian Ju-88 model plane :)
So nice seeing propeller driven aircraft with the proper prop wash. So tired of seeing props that look static or in slow motion in flight and on the ground. That's what adds to the grace of a propeller driven aircraft. Thank you for posting and God Bless from Florida.
Yes, you can see the direction of rotation of the props on the P38s very clearly.
True dat! I hate what the ultra fast digital cameras do to a prop. MUCH better this way.
@@hopelessnerd6677 I feel your pain about the propellors. When I was a child I used to hate seeing Western movies where the 35mm cameras and projectors made the wagon wheels look like they were spinning backwards. I guess every generation needs something trivial to gets its tits in a tangle about.
The "Mustang" w/ the allison engine is I believe an A36 formerly of the Champlin collection. They had a unique dive-brake system where a "fence" extended from the top of each wing in order to slow the a/c while diving.It was complicated and if this a/c once was so equipped, probably has been deactivated.
Martha Vaughan No, this one is definitely an A model, it’s the only true A model still flying and has been owned by the Planes of Fame air museum for many many years. Most of Champlin’s museum aircraft are now with the museum in Seattle with the exception of the FW-190 D13 that is owned now by Paul Allen’s museum.
Love Planes of fame. Been going there since I was a kid.
This video showed me that every Mustang is beautfiul(I didn‘t like early versions like P-51/Mustang Mk In and P-51A/Mustang Mk II). Like I said this video opened my eyes to the beauty of the early Mustang versions. Thank you for posting this video about these beautiful machines! Have a nice das and stay safe!
GREAT!
Thank you for the work and NOT using music. Well done.
PoF puts on a helluva show year after year. Hellcats & Zeros, Saberjets & MiGs, even Fokker Tripes and Sopwith Camels going at it. Spits, Sea Furies, Bearcats, Tigercats, Skyraiders, even Peashooters. What's not to love?
Thank you, thank you, THANK you: No PA system, no announcing, no descriptions, no music. Yes, please... may I have another?!

C-47 Skytrain though, what a majestic craftsmanship.
I’ll always love the allied aircraft best, but man, that 190 looks and sounds nice.
Saw it at omaka, sounds absolutely brutal in the flypast!
It's supposed to be the Dora version of the Focke Wulf 190. But I don't know if it's the original engine in there ..
@@matthiasglaschke5946 Im pretty sure its anton not dora
It's amazing to think that in just 20 years from now, most of these warbirds will have been flying 100 years! Hopefully they fly another 100 for future generations to see and admire.
Best video, no music just the sound of those beefy engines of Mercedes Benz, Rolls Royce, Packard, Pratt Whitney. Those engines mostly carbureted except for the MB that were fired injected, served it's purpose even without today's computerized engines that we have in our cars that suddenly won't start or display "check engine" light on and other maladies that require to plug an OBD tester under the dashboard to get the engine codes. None of them existed during those times, yet these planes performed and delivered us to either victory or defeat.
The best thing about PoF museum is that most of the aircraft there aren't static, they actually fly! They also keep these old warbirds in beautiful condition, as seen here in the video
0:15 That's a Focke-Wulf FW-190A9/N replica on the right.
What a great video. My father was at Normandy, he would've have loved to see this video.
This is a thing of beauty. I would like to see a 190 Dora at a memorial fly over some day.
+chine type2 bass rocker There are two or three Dora projects out there, but nothing moving fast enough to fly anytime soon.
Awesome video,thx for no music,just the sound of the engines.
Dayum, the FW 190 looks hungry. Like it wants to eat Spitfires for breakfast...
I know she must be starving!
Thank you PoF for not painting "Red Bull" all over these warbirds.
I hate that, especially the corsair covered in all that red bull nonsense
This war sponsored by 5 Hour Energy.
I hate the paint too, but at least they are keeping them flying and in good shape.
Those planes wouldn't be flying without Redbull sponsoring them.... I hated it at first, too, but then realized that it was financed by Redbull entirely... MILLIONS of dollars of my money? You bet your arse my name is going on it...
@HiWetcam The one flown by Redbull is Glacier Girl. Just repainted
Beautiful job done by PoF to fit the R-2800 under the cowling of the 190. It is noticeable, but still on first glance looks original. To bad "Lefty's" P-38 is in Europe, I always enjoyed her ringing whistle doing her routine and flying the Pylons at Reno. I see the "Connie" in the background, Resto underway yet? Great selection on the vid, always a pleasure - Thanks!
bob dyer just thinking of lefty when l saw the 38’s wished l asked him how they controlled the turbo’s on the early models.
I thought the 190 had Russian made copy of the 1830
@@garynew9637 At one period it did. But the R-2800 was added due to its reliability, ease of maintenance, parts availability & many with zero hours on them, the switch was made.

I know an old Farmer from Austrian/Europe who built a replica of an Arado 96 Trainer from WWII but I didn't know that there is a original still airworthy.
+Wolfgang Gugelweith That is a Pilatus P-2.
@@FiveCentsPlease You are right. Because of the nose of the propeller I was sure it is an Arado 96. But the propeller, the engine and the concept is from the Arado 96. It was built in Switzerland and used till 1980 in theyr airforce as trainer.
wow! This is really awesome! The warbirds are my favorites...each bird has a unique engine sound...thanks for this!
I was there for this one and it was fantastic to see the paratroopers
Fantastic engine sounds! Loved the FW-190 and P51 Mustang! Does anyone know if there are any surviving Junkers 87 Stuka dive bombers still flying in these POF airshows?
The late Paul Allen is restoring one, be a nice addition to the scene.

+sean kelly Several Ju-88s are in static restoration. Paul Allen's museum may possibly have a Ju-88 in progress, but this has not been confirmed as true and remains a rumor. Allen's museum will say when they are ready. It was known for a while that the museum had a Stuka wreck but the project was no officially announced until late last year.
@soaringtractor I never did say that he took his planes to other airshows!!! They only fly them in close proximity, like circuits. The collection has closed its doors, no-one knows for how long, or if its ever going to open. They do have a Stuka, Kermit Weeks did a video where he goes round the museum and shows the Ju87 very well.

There is a 190 in New Zealand. It crashed on landing at the Classic Fighters Omaka 2015 air show - it ground looped and wiped the undercarriage off and damaged the engine when the prop hit the ground. It went into the repair shop at Omaka and was back in the air for this year's CFO.

What A pair of sweet looking P-38's. Who says Lightning doesn't strike twice?
During the Mustang Mk. I's successful combat initiation, North American's president Howard "Dutch" Kindelberger pressed the newly redesignated U.S. Army Air Forces (USAAF) for a fighter contract for the essentially similar P-51, 93 of which had passed into the USAAF when the Lend-Lease contract with Britain ran out of funds.
The Mustang IA/P-51 used four 20 mm Hispano wing cannon
in place of the original armament, a combination of four wing-mounted .30 caliber (7.62 mm) M1919 Browning machine guns and four .50 caliber (12.7 mm) M2 Browning machine guns, two of which were mounted in the wings, while the second pair was mounted in the "chin", or lower engine cowling, and synchronized to fire through the propeller. No funds were available for new fighter contracts in fiscal year 1942, but General Oliver P. Echols and Fighter Project Officer Benjamin S. Kelsey[4] wanted to ensure that the P-51 remained in production.[5]
Since appropriations were available for an attack aircraft, Echols specified modifications to the P-51 to turn it into a dive bomber. The contract for 500 A-36A aircraft fitted with bomb racks, dive brakes, and heavier-duty wing, was signed by Kelsey on 16 April 1942,[6] even before the first flight of the first production P-51 in May 1942.[7] With orders on the books, North American Aviation (NAA) began modifying the P-51 to accept the bomb shackles which had already been tested in a "long-range ferry" program that the RAF had stipulated.[8] Engineering studies totaling 40,000 hours and wind tunnel testing with a ⅛-scale model were completed in June 1942. Utilizing the basic P-51 airframe and Allison engine, structural reinforcing "beefed up" several high stress areas and "a set of hydraulically operated dive brakes were installed in each main wing plane".[9] Due to the slightly inboard placement of the bomb racks and unique installation of four cast aluminum dive brakes, a complete redesign of the P-51 wing was required.[6]
A-36A production line at NAA Inglewood, October 1942.
The first A-36A (42-83663) was rolled out of the NAA Inglewood plant in September 1942, rapidly going through flight testing with the first flight in October, with deliveries commencing soon after of the first production machines. The A-36A continued the use of nose-mounted .50 in (12.7 mm) machine guns along with wing armament of four .50 in (12.7 mm) caliber machine guns. The USAAF envisaged that the dive bomber would operate mainly at altitudes below 12,000 ft (3,658 m) and specified the use of a sea level-rated Allison V-1710-87, driving a 10 ft 9 in (3.28 m)-diameter three bladed Curtiss-Electric propeller and delivering 1,325 hp (988 kW) at 3,000 ft (914 m).[10] The main air scoop inlet was redesigned to become a fixed unit with a larger opening, replacing the earlier scoop which could be lowered into the airstream. In addition the A-36 carburetor air intake was later fitted with a tropical air filter to stop sand and grit being ingested into the engine.[6][11]
The USAAF later ordered 310 P-51As, which were essentially A-36s without the dive-brakes and nose mounted weapons, leaving an armament of four wing-mounted 0.50 in (12.7 mm) Browning machine guns.[12] An Allison V-1710-81 1,200 hp (895 kW) was fitted and used the same radiator and air intake as the A-36A. The P-51A was still fitted with bomb racks although it was not intended to be used primarily as a fighter-bomber and the racks were mainly used to carry drop tanks.[12][13]

Looking through the comments below No one mentioned the P - 51 B / C in British paint scheme .

John Rettig was about to call them out.
That's not a P-51 B/C. It's the Allison powered A model. It was called the Mustang MK I in RAF service.

OK thanks I got a closer look at the smaller air scoop on the belly
It would have to be an Allison powered .
Because I was an honorary member of the Confederate Air Force flying Museum back in the 80s . Also I've researched an there is NO surviving P - 51 A's they were the first aircraft to be called the Apache and it was designed as a Dive Bomber .
@@johnrettig1880 You are wrong !!!! USAAF Ordered 500 A36's as a DIVE BOMBER because the USAAF had money for ATTACK aircraft but not for fighters!!! This to keep the North American assembly line open after North American delivered the 620 Mustang mkI's to the Brits !!!! A36's were first calles Apaches but later they just became Mustangs !!!! USAAF then ordered the P51A as a fighter all allison Powered as that was THE only V12 Available in the USA untill Packard got the contract for 6000 Merlins for the Brits and 3,000 for the USA. That being 1942 when production got started and these Merlins were stillthe SINGLE stage supercharged version Packard built the first V1650-3 in mid 1942 and the XP51B flew in Nov 1942 and in production 1943 !!!

How is it that I'm wrong .
I simply stated that there are no surviving P - 51 -A
I didn't mention anything about the production a the start .

There is a Pilatus P-2 at 11:14 I don't think the German had it but can be mistaken. I understand it can serve a some "generic" german luftwaffe airplane, but Pilatus is a Swiss company.
The Pilatus didn't even see service during WW2. It didn't start flying with the Swiss Air Force until 1946. It looks enough like those WW2 German fighters to be used as such in several movies. One of the Indiana Jones films, as a matter of fact, used a couple.

Thank you so much for this upload, gave me goosebumbs from start to finish...Although i am a bit perplexed why there was no 109´s...
Barely any in the US.
+Lonewolf SWE Not counting Buchons, there are only three flyable Bf-109s in North America and one of those is fitted with an Allison. It's unlikely any DB engined examples will fly far from their home museums because of operating costs.
Amazing how much quieter the P-38’s are a than all the rest. Of course because their turbos were exhaust driven, that muffled the sound quite a bit. Especially compared to the radial engined, supercharged FW-190 and even the supercharged P-51’s!
Great video, great planes( P- 38, Nice!! ) Must show my ignorance, what do the black and white stripes signify???
Those are invasion stripes, they were used to identify all Allied aircraft during the invasion to help keep the friendly fire down.

If you're actually watching this you don't need any on screen captions as to what is what. And as you have said "Replica" you truly should provide the date of construction, where and by whom and what power plant is used.
+Paul Lubliner In this case the Fw-190 is a "custom" replica. Flugwerk was the manufacturer, but provided them to buyers as unassembled kits to be completed. The customer installs all electrics, hydraulics and avionics to their own specification. One customer has installed an all-glass instrument cluster which looks kinda tacky for a Fw-190. The kit comes with an engine--the Russian/Chinese ASh-82. With the replica above, they customer was Rudy Frasca and they decided to ditch the ASh engine and install an R-2800. The date constructed is when the customer finishes. Flugwerk made 21 kits, but only 8 or 9 of them have been fully constructed to flying.
