Picture of the day
The
Hispano Aviación HA-1112
was a
license
-built version of the
Messerschmitt Bf 109G-2
developed in
Spain
during and after
World War II
. The Spanish government in 1942 contracted with
Messerschmitt
to supply Bf 109G-2 materials, but due to difficulties incurred by the war, the company only delivered 25 incomplete airframes to
Hispano Aviación
. The plane shown in this photo has been rebuilt to resemble a
Luftwaffe
Bf 109, except without the Nazi
swastika
.
