During World War II, the German Luftwaffe used airspeed indicators primarily manufactured by Original-Bruhn and Askania, two of the leading producers of aviation instruments at the time. These indicators, calibrated in kilometres per hour (km/h), were essential for a wide range of Luftwaffe aircraft, including the Messerschmitt Bf 109, Focke-Wulf Fw 190, and Heinkel He 111. Known for their precision and durability, the instruments were designed to operate reliably in various altitudes and conditions, ensuring pilots could maintain optimal speed during combat, takeoffs, and landings. Original-Bruhn was renowned for its innovative designs, while Askania produced highly robust and dependable instruments for military aviation. These airspeed indicators were vital for flight performance, especially during high-stress missions, allowing pilots to execute manoeuvres effectively. Despite their technical limitations compared to modern equipment, these instruments contributed significantly to the Luftwaffe’s operational success. Today, airspeed indicators from Original-Bruhn and Askania are prized by collectors and aviation enthusiasts, serving as tangible artefacts of World War II and highlighting the technical craftsmanship of the era.
