Amazing Messerschmidt ME109 Recovery
1942, Russia, the Eastern Front. Four Hawker Hurricanes of the Soviet Air Force 5880-engage four ME109’s and one BF110 of the Luftwaffe in combat.
One bullet riddled ME109 makes a near perfect wheels up landing on the ice of a frozen lake. It later sinks through the melting ice and lays on the lakebed, untouched until it was recovered in August 2003.
More of this terrific story and other exciting recoveries at:-

Japanese Messerchmitt Bf 109
No, not really.
It is in fact a Kawasaki Ki.61 "Hien" (Japanese for swallow), allied code name: "Tony"
Uniquely for Japanese WW2 fighter planes it used an inline engine instead of a radial, which gave it a distinct European look. The engines were actually German in origin, a license-built version of the Daimler-Benz DB-601A, which in fact, powered the real the Messerchmitt Bf 109. (below)
German secrets of World War Two ( 4 ) Horten Ho 229
Horten Ho 229
Designated the Horten Ho-IX, it was a revolutionary late-World War II prototype flying wing fighter/bomber, designed by Reimar and Walter Horten and built by Gothaer Waggonfabrik.
A personal favourite of German Luftwaffe chief Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring, it came too late, fortunately for the allies, and development ended at the loss of WW2
