BMW is a company that can look back on a long tradition in engine construction. This not only applies to developing innovative car engines, which were always a little ahead of their time, but also to designing aero engines. It is now possible to present the public with a record of aero‐engine construction that was long believed to have been lost without trace: a BMW type 803 A aero engine built in 1944, comprising two 4‐cylinder double‐radial engines that together develop some 4,000 hp. This unique example is now being exhibited at the Deutsches Museum in Munich.
