During the war, air cooled systems proved more resilient than liquid cooled systems, as in the case of the latter, a single bullet strike could puncture and drain the cooling system, eventually causing the engine to seize or catch fire.

  • Amtech's, 1/48 Scale, Ta-183 “Huckebein”
    AMtech’s, 1/48 scale, Ta-183 “Huckebein” By Bryant Dunbar The first time I saw AMtech’s 1/48 scale Ta-183 “Huckebein” kit was at the 2001 IPMS Butch O’Hare show. Scott Van Aken had a built up test shot on display. It only took a moment for me to decide I wanted one, NOW! Scott explained it was a test shot but kits would be available in the near future. The Ta-183 would have been an incredible performer and no doubt would have superseded the Messerschmidt Me 262’s capabilities had it been built and flown. In late 1942, Focke-Wulf’s founder, Kurt Tank and engineer Hans Multhopp, began studies to create the Ta-183. Their work culminated in a design that that was to have a prototype ready for its maiden flight in May or June 1945. Plans were for another fifteen test aircraft to follow. Two tail designs were considered for the aircraft. Both were to be built and compared. One tail was a more conventional, low version mounted along the fuselage. The other was the radical “T” design that we are most familiar. The first production aircraft was scheduled for completion in October of 1945. However, British forces captured Focke-Wulf’s facilities on April 8 and no examples were ever built. The Soviets found complete plans for the Ta-183 in Berlin and it’s believed they may have built as many as six test aircraft. Most are of the opinion the MiG-15 is a direct descendant of the Ta-183.

Along with its well-known counterpart, the Messerschmitt A8 Bf 109, the Fw190 became the backbone of the Luftwaffe's Jagdwaffe (Fighter Force). The twin-row BMW 801 radial - engine that powered most operational versions enabled the Fw190 to lift larger loads than the Bf 109, allowing its use as a day fighter, fighter-bomber, ground-attack aircraft and, to a lesser degree, night fighter. FW190 ANTON The Fw190A series' performance decreased at high altitudes (usually 6,000 m (20,000 ft) and above), which reduced its effectiveness as a high-altitude interceptor. From the Fw190's inception, there had been ongoing efforts to address this with a turbosupercharged BMW 801 in the B model, the much longer-nosed C model with efforts to also turbocharge its chosen Daimler-Benz DB 603 inverted V12 powerplant, and the similarly long-nosed D model with the Junkers Jumo 213. Problems with the turbocharger installations on the -B and -C subtypes meant only the D model would see service, entering service in September 1944.

  • Aces of the Luftwaffe
    Aces of the Luftwaffe Below are profiles of some of the Luftwaffe’s greatest pilots. Germany had the top 108 scoring aces of the Second World War, with scores ranging from 352 to 99 kills (for the top 108). The term ace can mean different things for different countries. Wikipedia puts it as this: “In World War II, many air forces credited fractional shares of aerial victories, resulting in fractions or decimal scores, such as 11½ or 26.83. Some U.S. commands also credited aircraft destroyed on the ground as equal to aerial victories. The Soviets distinguished between solo and group kills, as did the Japanese, though the IJN stopped crediting individual victories in 1943. The Luftwaffe continued the tradition of "one pilot, one kill", and now referred to top scorers as experten.” So German pilots got a kill for every aircraft they shot down. Name: Erich Hartmann Life: April 19, 1922 – September 20, 1993 Kills: 352 Notes: Erich Hartmann is the top scoring ace of all time, of any country. His 352 kills are 51 more than that of his closest rival, Gerhard Barkhorn. 345 of his kills were against the Soviets, as he fought mainly on the Ostfront (Eastern Front), and 260 of these were fighters. He also won the Ritterkreuz mit Eichenlaub, Schwerten und Brillianten (Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds), the second highest award in the German forces. He was imprisoned by the Soviets for 10 and a half years, and once released, went to West Germany and was put in charge of the post war JG 71 “Richtofen”, and retired in 1970.

  • VFS Dedicates Focke's Wind Tunnel As Vertical Flight Heritage Site
    VFS Dedicates Focke’s Wind Tunnel as Vertical Flight Heritage Site By Berend van der Wall n Sept. 15, the Vertical Flight Society held its Vertical Flight Heritage Site Award ceremony at the Focke Wind Tunnel Oin Bremen, Germany. This was the 12th site recognized since VFS began the program in 2013, which recognizes and helps preserve the most important vertical flight historical sites around the world. The Focke Wind Tunnel was built by Prof. Dr. Henrich Focke, the famous German aeronautical pioneer and aircraft designer, and was his last research laboratory. Construction of the wind tunnel began immediately after his retirement in 1961 and it was finished in 1963. Interestingly, the wind tunnel building had been the workshop of a carpenter who had built the wind tunnel model of the first Focke-Wulf A 16 light transport aircraft in 1923. Historic Background Focke became interested in rotating-wing aircraft in 1932. The Steffen (right) and van der Wall (left) unveil the VFS Focke-Wulf company built 40 Cierva C.30 Autogiros under license plaque at the Focke Wind Tunnel. (Photos courtesy of in Germany as the Fw 30 Heuschrecke (“Grasshopper”). His Fw 61 the author) was arguably the first practical helicopter in the world. Its maiden flight took place in 1936 at Bremen Airport and later broke all existing world records. Before VFS started its Vertical Flight Heritage Sites program in 2013, the Society was supporting a program by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). VFS members successfully nominated several helicopter and VTOL sites for their program, including Bremen Airport, recognized in 2011 for its historical significance in aviation.

I don't believe you, you're kidding me.“ Frühe Fluggeräte, ob schwerer oder leichter als Luft, bestanden aus Materialien, die uns heute im besten Fall als ungeeignet erscheinen. Bambus und Stoff weckten aber auch das Misstrauen der frühen Flugzeugbauer und -nutzer. Das revolutionäre Technologiesystem Flugzeug sollte von jeher aus den modernsten Materialien bestehen, ganz gleich ob sie immer wirklich die geeignetsten waren. Dieses Dogma hat bis heute nichts an Gültigkeit verloren. Und bis heute verursacht dieser Zwang zu den aktuellsten Materialien oft mehr Probleme als er löst. Das Beispiel Flugzeugbau bietet interessante Antworten auf die Frage, warum sich Technologien durchsetzen bzw. eben nicht durchsetzen.
