I can't get over how SMALL it is! I've seen hurries and that merlin engined 109 in the same display area. The hurrie is a juggernaut compared to it! No wonder it only had a flight endurance of just slightly over an hour, there's no room for gas! Flying motor!

Great pictures of under the hood, I’m amazed at the German engineering back then

I was looking around on that site and also found P-51 videos. Just type in P-51 and it will take you to them.

yes, IceFrog!
