RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

These engines first saw military service in Fokker airplanes..

Most tank engines from this period where aeroplane engines as they gave greater torque and where lighter than a normal engine, even the Cromwell and Sherman used aeroplane engines

i think i may be right to say the me-109 engine was developed in a merc raceing car in the mid 1930 as engins for war planes were band under the versailles treaty ?
