I met a B-17 pilot in a grocery store once, he had a hat on and I asked him about it, he also looked over 90 so I thought the chances were good. He beat some serious odds in the war and in life!

Yeah I’ve heard various comparisons about how the P-51 engine was so much better, but I guess if you can’t maneuver with that speed it can’t help you. It’s interesting to hear from someone who spent a lot of time in various aircraft.

The thing is the Battle of Britain was a big turning point if not in the war, then for morale.
The Spitfire gets the glory while it was mainly Hurricanes that took part on our side.
The Messerschmidt ME 109 has been acknowledged for years as the better aircraft, mainly for it’s engine which was direct fuel injected while the Spitty was a carburettor engine.
It was partially a fluke of the situation in that the Messer’s used up a lot of fuel to get to the U.K. and had very little time to fight before having to fly back to France of have to land on the wrong side of the channel.
On our side we had ‘Home Chain’ which was a radar system based or a very large network giving us enough time to get our aircraft airborne to meet the Germans often coming out of the sun or clouds to pick them off.
If Germany had kept it up for even a few more days, our aircraft would of been sufficiently depleted to completely change the outcome.

For the German aircraft, the producers obtained 32 CASA 2.111 twin-engined bombers, a Spanish-built version of the German Heinkel He 111H-16 . They also located 27 Hispano Aviación HA-1112 M1L ‘Buchon’ single-engined fighters, a Spanish version of the German Messerschmitt Bf 109 . The Buchons were altered to look more like correct Bf 109Es, adding mock machine guns and cannon, and redundant tailplane struts, and removing the rounded wingtips. [15] The Spanish aircraft were powered by British Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, and thus almost all the aircraft used, British and German alike, were Merlin-powered. [Note 2] After the film, one HA-1112 was donated to the German Luftwaffenmuseum der Bundeswehr , and converted to a Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-2 variant, depicting the insignias of German ace Gustav Rödel .

The first guy has a ton of motors, he might have swapped some back.

I imagine those engines are Merlins that came in the same lot. Finding an inverted V Daimler-Benz is not exactly easy.
Funnily enough the first prototypes of the Bf 109 had Rolls-Royce K e s t r e l engines, if I remember correctly.

The first guy actually says all of them were used on the film. No German-built 109 was used in

only the

I should watch the video again, but it seems to me all the aircraft you see there (even the twin seater) have the Buchón engine cowl s .

The Merlin engine conversion seems to be relatively popular when the supply of DB 605s started to dwindle. Postwar Italy converted all of its remaing Fiat G.55s to Merlins as the G. 59.
There are even a few still flying.
