This video was shot at a Fighter Aces Syposium at the Champlin Fighter Museum in 1990. It was a magic couple of days to say the least. I hope you enjoy.

This is a link to the youtube version of the video, for those who do not want to endure the painful download.

IIRC at another time they also ran the DB601 on their ME109? Anyone remember?

I think that 109 was converted from a Buchon? I imagine its in WA now.

Pete,

You are correct on all counts I believe.

Thank you so much for posting this. I really look forward to the day when a Dora comes to life again and perhaps takes to the air.

Even running rough, the Jumo sounds a lot like the DB in Black 6. Without the video it would be hard to tell the difference.

That's nice, it's the first time I see an inertia starter in action!

Hawkeye; That was Oscar Boesch in the beginning of the video. If I remember correctly, other German aces that were there included Wolfgang Fahlke, Gerhard Kroll and Franz Steigler.

They also ran the DB-601 on the 109. Not quite as hard to start.

Cheers,

Greg

Pretty good times. That's probably as close as I'll ever be to seeing the Dora run. :D
