And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
There was a story of a P-51 and a FW-190 met over the Hump flying opposite direction. Told from the view of the Mustang pilot, he was tired, cold, and hungry. He figured the -190 pilot was too for they definitely saw each other, passing at same altitude, less than one mile but both kept going.
Appears to have the ~2ft plug extension to the fuselage, and definitely has the v-12, as the exhaust stack line is visible just above the leading edge of the wing. Oddly, no swastika on the vertical tail. Thought that was mandated.
A FW Dora?
ReplyDeleteAn apex predator.
ReplyDeleteSure looks like an FW-190D, though the TA-152/153 is similar with the long nose.
ReplyDeleteFiat G55?
ReplyDeleteTarget!
ReplyDeleteFW 190....isn't it funny how both sides got back to radials at the end of the war....
ReplyDeleteThat's not a radial, even though it looks like one from the outside. The Dora was powered by a Junkers Jumo inverted V12.
ReplyDeleteTA-152. Look at the length of the fuse between the rudder and cockpit.
