Description
You are bidding on a VERY NICE relic example of a WW2 German Luftwaffe Aircraft Control Surface Hinge or Mounting Bracket, as ONLY used on the Me210 & Me410 Destroyer Aircraft! Recovered the wreck in Germany, however I do not have any loss information.
The Messerschmitt Me 210 was a German heavy fighter and ground-attack aircraft of World War II. Design started before the war, as a replacement for the Bf 110. The first examples were ready in 1939, but they proved to have unacceptably poor flight characteristics due to serious wing platform and fuselage design flaws. A large-scale operational testing program throughout 1941 and early 1942 did not cure the type’s problems. The design entered limited service in 1942, but was soon replaced by the Messerschmitt Me 410 Hornisse, a further development of the Me 210. The failure of the Me 210’s development program meant the Luftwaffe was forced to continue operating the Bf 110 after it had become outdated, despite mounting losses.
Made of aluminum and steel, this Inner Flap Bracket is in EXCELLENT relic condition! Though it features some marks and wear, it still retains the original shape and structure! I am not sure of the exact location, however, I have indicated the approx. area in the last images. Approx. 8″ x 8″ in size, it would make for a SUPERB addition to any collection or display!
