This video is primarily intended to answer repeating questions from the previous videos. A small number of German planes in World War Two did have four bladed props. Learn why these are the exceptions, and not the rule. I'll cover the turbocharged 4 blade prop variant of the Fw190, the He177, and the mystical Bf 109 K14. (NOTE: I misspoke and kept calling it K18 in this video. I'm taking about the K14, not that it matters as both are fictional.)

Note: There isn't much original source material for the Fw190 V18. I am just piecing together what I can from the half dozen or so pictures that are in existence for that plane. Of course this video isn't really about the plane, but rather why it has a 4 blade prop, and why a 4 blade prop wasn't used on the late war production Focke Wulfs.

No, I don't really think the Germans had Vril powered flying saucers. No, I don't really think they had a secret base beneath Antarctica. No, I don't think they attacked Admiral Byrd's fleet during Operation High Jump.

The final 109 variant to see combat was the K4. It appears they build a handful of K6s, but it's unlikely those ever saw combat.
