Description
...or, What is Under Your Bonnet for our UK friends:)
Used a Gaussian Blur filter to remove the distraction of lots of other things in the immediate background in the museum in Dayton, Ohio.
......
This is a WWII German Bf 109G-10 Messeschmidt fighter. It was brought to US Air Force test facilities in Dayton, Ohio after the war for evaluation. It was one of the latest variants among more than 30,000 Bf 109s built during WWII.
So, what is under its' hood? A Daimler Benz DB 605 D-2 engine. It is an inverted V-12 of more than 1700 Horse Power. [by way of comparison, the first Bf 109 flew with a Rolls Royce 650 HP engine in 1935]
For you real enthusiasts, notice the clear, see-through canopy on this G-10. Big improvement visibility-wise.

TOTALLY COOL...I find allot of fascinating things under hoods, though I've never been under an air crafts hood. lol Awesome work with the blurr to Bill.
Yep, Bill, bonnet for me!!!! Another great image, did wonder what you had put up in your garden for the birds when I read the title :o)
Superb work Bill a postwork delight and such great lighting
That is one awesome capture i love the rich colours hugs lou x
Wow! Great photo. That bird is so clean & shiny, I figured it was a highly detailed model, and this was a close-up/macro photo.
Great detail. Well done.
Well, even I think this is lovely!
excellent postwork and a great capture!
Fantastic job with this! The postwork is most excellent. The answer to the question today for me is, "not much!" My mind has turned to mush from this headcold. So today you get "oooooohh, pretty!" and that's about it! :P
Excellent bit of history and captured by you....!!!
real cool shot
Looks factory fresh, that would be a sight to behold skybound.Great capture non the less and love the postwork.From previous images I must confess envy at all the snow you're getting.Though probably a pain for you, it's great to see the white stuff if only in photo form.
Or, to stretch things a bit, "What's in your wallet?" A question asked at the end of a Capital credit card commercial. Keen kapture of the Messerschitt innards and subsequent postwork, Bill. I may start using the Gaussian blur filter in my future efforts. It has a lot of competition among the other blur filters, though.
Excellent capture and using the filters really makes it stand out.
Nice shot and postwork. ME109s are a special area of research for me ever since I read an article in WINGS magazine (c.1975, still have it - lol) detailing the K model. Turns out we now know that not one aircraft featured in that article was a K. Anyhow, I now know way too much about these for my own good and I own a gas cap to boot! This was the parts plane for the G10 Evergreen owns (in Mcminneville, OR - nice plane, too) and was planning on flying until the untimely death of Mike Smith.
It looks brand-spanking new! What a beauty. Your postwork really makes it look like a catalog item, thank you, I'll take one, to go. Lol. Beautiful shot.
Great shot and postwork. I can only imagine the sound this engine would make.
Nice shot Bill that looks great its a beautiful looking aircraft... Nice filter work too well done!!

Bill, thats sharp, your photo captures the fine detail brilliantly and your postwork just emphasises that detail. Cracking shot of this fighter.
splendid capture!! and wonderful work!!
Great detail and info, Bill. Looks like a model! CLive
Excellent picture and also great ART!
I can imagine the ground trembling when this bird is fired up
Very cool shot of the inner workings of the 109G. Modellers will love this one, Bill!
