Here is the other long-lost drawing that I just re-discovered.
Here we have the famous Messerschmitt 109. I do not recall which of the dozens of versions this one is. It was in continuous production and constantly being improved upon.

Neat! I'd hazard a guess that it's a DB605 engined variant. The 'improved' engine suffered worse from overheating than the 601 it replaced.
I've got an interesting book somewhere about German engine development during WW2. There's a really good chapter about how late in the
war there was a desperate struggle to adapt engines to work with rapidly decreasing fuel quality. Many types of valve seat materials were
tried to alleviate erosion due to pinking from low octane fuel.
