Description
This book is a standard and reference work on the Messerschmitt Bf 109 operational machines from series B to K. The author tries to bring to light facts such as distinguishing features that have not been seen before or have been misinterpreted by other authors. The abundance of graphics provides valuable and important explanations in order to understand and classify not only the numerous original photos shown here. The resulting basic work on the Bf 109 operational aircraft is a reference work written by an expert on the subject for aircraft enthusiasts, model builders, collectors of equipment boards and anyone who is concerned with the types that were actually flown in action.
The book is structured chronologically according to the individual series of the Bf 109 from the B-1 to the K-4, the bad weather and night fighters, reconnaissance aircraft and training aircraft. Not the smallest detail was left out to highlight the differences between the individual models. The descriptions serve, or at least support, recognition based on photos. Details about the so-called upgrade kits – the additions to the aircraft that did not change the aircraft type -, the engines and weapons, the nameplates and much more are provided and recorded and described in detail.
The book finally brings clarity to the often confusing mass of type, series and part names and numbers. Numerous color illustrations of original equipment boards and other details, hundreds of plan drawings, color graphics with painted versions and many historical photographs illustrate this impressive volume.
