BTW, the Dora above was restored to "airworthy" condition and restored again just a few years ago, but is considered too rare to risk for flight since it is the only surviving D-13 example.

at the very beginning of this video you see a man in a white shirt and tie . He was an Austrian flying FW 190s in the Luftwaffe with 18 confirmed victories . He passed away two years ago and enjoyed doing aerobatic displays in his sailplane at air shows all over Canada and the USA . He was a country man friend of mine and we miss him in the gliding movement . May he rest in peace !

Sad that it takes war to produce such beautiful machines. This old girl, 70+ years old, still looks just as ferocious and sleek as it did when it was born.

for the longest time this d-13 had d-9 wings,until a trade with usaf museum which had the original wings to this airplane.they were mixed up and crated when it was sold surplus.finally got the usaf museum to swap wings and that proved champlin correct-ammo chutes matched up and the brain box that controlled the engine,fuel and propeller matched up too.Great that it finally came back together after all these years........

Thsi is not a DB605 Engine, the DB 605 was in the Messerschmitt 109. This is an Junkers Jumo 213 A-1 Engine.
-
This is the long-nosed version, the D model. It really did have a superb motor. It's high-altitude power output really was unparalleled. It is a very rare fighter plane.
-
Who needs to go the gym, when you can crank a FW190-D9 engine instead!!
-
The FW 190D is a fearsome and gorgeous machine! The Germans really did make the best planes during the war, and the v-12 was a great engine was great for powering them.

Part of the engine controls were missing when this video was made so starting was difficult. In fact, it could only idle. A new restoration was completed a few years ago which replaced the missing part, but the new owners do not start it. Also remember that wartime aircraft had a dedicated ground crew that kept them running perfectly. The hand inertia start was used by all sides and was a weight-saving feature.

Guys its a Junkers Jumo 213, a vary rare engine.
-
The most amazing FW made. I could only imagine the rush a German fighter pilot got when he flew this. Even with being outnumbered this thing was so fast that if you flew smart you could get away.

This was filmed sometime around 1992. The new restoration from a few years ago corrected many things and it now wears its wartime paint colors. It is currently owned by the Flying Heritage Collection and is on display in the Museum of Flight in Seattle. No more engine runs were performed after the new restoration, though it was restored to airworthy standards. It will probably never fly because it's a vary rare long-nose version.

many say the Spitfire was the best looking plane during WW2 ,but honestly if the DORA would be a girl,id ask her to marry me

This is the only surviving D-13 when it was still with the Champlain Museum. It was started occasionally but could only idle because of missing engine parts. It's now fully restored (missing parts now added) and is on display at the Flying Heritage Museum. The Allison-engined Flug Werk is in FL being prepped for flight testing.

@KenMacMillan The Bosch inertial starters can be turned by hand (seen here) or with external electric power. This demo was most likely done for the crowd.

Wunderschöner Flieger!
-
Oh man you can hear that super charger whistle.

Yes, the D version uses an inverted V12. Depending on the sub-model, the D-9 thru D-13 had inverted Jumo 213 while the final D-14 and D-15 models used the DB 603 engine (however very few, if any, D-14 and D-15 were completed in time to see active service) The fuselage and small tail extension were added to adjust the CG for the longer engine.
-
god what a gorgeous machine,back when airplanes had soul, yeah fighter planes these days go 10 million miles an hour and have armament that can shoot your left nipple sideways at 60 thousand feet but they all look the same,thank you for posting the video!!

@MisogiWaAikidoDesu There are several D-9 projects that are ongoing, so in the upcoming years we will hopefully get to hear a Jumo 213 roar to life. The D-13 in this video was missing an engine control unit and it could only idle. When it was restored again a few years ago, a control unit was found and installed but they did not have time to do any engine runs before it went on display at FHC. And yes, witnessing one of these V12s in person is a jaw-dropping experience.
