Re: [MBZ] WW2 Mercedes Aircraft Engine

The USAF museum at Dayton O had a German ME109 engine sitting on the floor when i was there 20 some years ago. It was an amazing engine to look at. Compared to the contemporary engines from other countries, the engine was a work of art. The engine is NOT Mercedes Benz. They were built by Da
