It's probably one of those cases where someone put a 1 instead of a 0 or something.  Looks cool though.   Grin

You guys disappoint me. It's a P-82 Twin Mustang as used in the Korean conflict. http://www.boeing.com/history/bna/p82.htm

Basically 2 P-51Ds bolted together. The DVC would look just like the one in the conventional P-51 except for twin-engined controls & instruments.

Were the Germans trying to copy everything....lol

But in actuality, the Germans wouldn't have even known since the P-82 didn't even fly untill after the war in Europe was over.

Did the ME 109Z ever make it into combat?

No Andrew, quite the reverse. Germany did it first as they do with most things. Britain, America & Russia used much German research in the post-WWII period. It was this that led to space travel & putting the men on the moon. I don't think the Me 109Z was ever built. I've never seen a photo of it.

The 5-engined aircraft is the He 111Z, basically 2 He 111 aircraft joined together. It was built & used successfully to tow the huge Me 321 Gigant transport glider. They had previously used 2 conventional He 111 bombers flying side-by-side but experienced a number of take-off accidents.

PS. This photo shows the Me 321 being towed by 3 BF 110 twin-engined fighters. It also used a RATO pack. http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/LRG/images/lrg1900.jpg

If it was never built, how could we have copied it in such a short period after the war ???

I can imagine the problems they had with two seperate aircraft trying to tow a single object. Must have been a nightmare.

Did they ever put that design to use after the war?

This was found to be extremely dangerous & often resulted in fatal collisions & the reason the He 111Z was developed.

The Me 321 was eventually fitted with 6 engines, becoming the Me 323 & making the tug aircraft redundant. It was the largest aircraft in the world at the time.

Scientists from the 3 main Allied countries followed their troops as soon as possible to grab the German secrets before they were lost or destroyed, or grabbed by one of the others. LOL
Many German scientists & aircraft designers were offered freedom from possible prosecution for war crimes in exchange for taking jobs in the various countries. One such scientist you might have heard of was Werner von Braun. http://www.12tharmoredmuseum.org/capture.asp

I'm not saying the Twin Mustang was a direct copy of the Me 109Z but the idea was not exactly a secret.
