- The Messerschmitt BF 109 is remembered as the main fighter for Germany during the Second World War. But did you know prior to the war that Heinkel attempted to win over the Air Ministry with their version of a fighter aircraft? Meet the Heinkel He 100. This lesser known plane would actually be the faster aircraft in the world at one stage. So why didn't Germany adopt it into the Luftwaffe? In today's video we look at the faster rival to the Bf 109, the Heinkel He 100.
At Premier History we want to take you on a journey through time and grow your knowledge to see what it was actually like to be in some of the pivotal points in World History.

Speed is only one (albeit supreme) important factor in performance. How did it turn? How did it climb? How reliable was it? It's difficult to question the 109's success even with the benefit of hindsight. She was a great aircraft, modified throughout the war to keep pace with advancements in technology and production requirements. It is arguably the best success of the German war machine as a combat vehicle that survived from war's start to war's end.
Hi, your channel is great, I'm so glad to have found it. The Heinkel He100 looks sleak and maneuverable, could have been a pain in the ass for the Allies.
I wonder if you have ever heard of the 500,000 th CMP(Canadian Military Pattern) truck? The only truck to ever be allowed to leave the factory (June 1943) wearing the badging of Chevrolet, Ford and Dodge on it's grill . I've seen pictures and some articles but I would love to know more, especially where is it now.
Just thought I'd put a bug in your ear, keep up the great work.
Slava Ukraini! 🇨🇦🇺🇦

Thanks Dale really appreciate the support! No I hadn’t but that does sound very interesting, Thank you!
I wonder why they installed the engine upside down in the Bf 109 and the He 100 🤔
Then engine was designed that way. The cowling can be smaller at the top for better visibility and the gun that shoots through the propeller hub sits between the cylinder banks
Plus it made the maintenance for the ground crew a lot easier as well!
Cool thanks guys !
