Dear Flitzer,

I could not find any reference to BMW 800 engines.


OTOH BMW 801 was the most widely-produced Nazi radial engine. With two rows of air-cooled cylinders it pumped out 1500 to 2,000 horsepower and was installed in first-line Focke-Wulf 190 fighters, Junkers 88 fast bombers and a few large bomber/transports. Because BMW801 was so important for FW 190 production, its use was severely restricted in other airframes.
