	Bf 109, Messerschmitt
		The Bf 109 was the standard fighter of the Luftwaffe during much of World War Two, although it began to be partially replaced by the Focke-Wulf Fw-190 from 1942.
		The Bf 109 was also produced in greater quantities than any other Axis aircraft of the war and is the most produced fighter aircraft in history, with over 31,000 units built.
		Bf 109 was the official Reichsluftfahrtministerium (the German Air Ministry) designation, since the design was sent in by the Bayerische Flugzeugwerke company.

	Messerschmitt Bf 109 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was a World War II fighter aircraft designed by Willy Messerschmitt in the early 1930s, the first truly modern fighter of the era combining the features of all-metal monocoque construction, a closed canopy and a retractable landing gear.
		The Bf 109 was the standard fighter of the Luftwaffe from just before the start of the war, and spent the first half of the war locked in combat with the Supermarine Spitfire.
		This Bf 109B-2 was the first Bf 109 to see combat: 24 of them were assigned to Legion Condor in Spain and demonstrated the armament was still inadequate, so the Bf 109 V8 was constructed to test the fitting of two more machine guns in the wings.

	Messerschmitt Bf 109
		The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was a World War II fighter aircraft designed in the early 1930s, the first truly modern fighter of the era combining the features of all-metal monocoque construction, a closed canopy and a retractable landing gear.
		The Bf 109 E-0 was identical to the V-14 except for the armament, as the E-0 had two additional MG 17 in the wings instead of the MG FF in the propeller shaft.
		The first Bf 109 F planes were not well tested, and so some planes crashed or nearly crashed, due to vibrations which caused either the wing surface to curve or break, or caused the stabilizer to break away.

	The Bf 109 B (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		It was proposed that the Bf 109 B would carry three MG 17 machine guns, two in the top cowling and synchronized to fire through the airscrew, and the other firing through the airscrew boss.
		Led by Major Seidemann the three Bf 109 B won the contest for a circuit of the Alps by military aeroplanes, covering the distance of 367 km (228 miles) from Duebendorf to Bellinzona landing in Thun and Bellinzona in 57 minutes 7 seconds at an average speed of 387 km/h (233.5 mph).
		The Bf 109 V8 was fitted with two wing-mounted MG 17 machine guns in addition to the two mounted in the engine cowling, although this aggraved the flutter problem until the ailerons were balanced and the wing leading edge stiffened.

	Axis History Factbook: Messerschmitt Bf 109
		The path that led Willy Messerschmidt to the Bf 109 was a complicated one.
		Whatever problems the Bf 109 had on the ground, it was agile and fast in the air, and fighter became one of the front-runners in the competition.
		Five Bf 109E-7s were provided to the Japanese in 1941, but while they were interested in the DB 601 engine and license built it for their Kawasaki Ki-61 fighter, they had little interest in the Bf 109 itself.

	The BF-109 - The "Secret Instructions for JG-54"
		Thus the 109 is a plane with dual identity in the air.
		The 109 was somewhat less maneuverable that most of the fighters it faced, but this was offset by the 109's good points.The 109E does not carry a lot of Cannon ammunition, having a pretty low ammo load.
		In dogfight when the 109 (works best in 109F but applicable to other 109's) is approaching stall speed with 1 notch of flaps, deliberately bring the nose high and begin a wingover knowing that the wing on the side of that the turn directed to is likely to stall.

		The Bf 109 was the winner in the trials, exceeding its nearest rival, the Heinkel He 112, by 17 mph.
		Bf 109V14 and V15, using the 1,050 hp (783 Kw) DB 601 engine, served as development aircraft for the Bf 109E.
		The fact that the Bf 109 had too limited a range to be fully effective as a bomber escort, persuaded the German authorities to consider the type most useful as a defensive fighter in Europe.

		The V-3, the third prototype, was the first Bf 109 to be armed, carrying two 7.9mm MG17 machine guns and 1000 rounds of ammunition, as called for in the RLM spec.
		Early on the Bf 109 ranged freely while the Me 110's shepherded the bombers, but when the "shepherds" were mauled as badly as their flock by the RAF wolves, the Bf 109's were called on.
		In its long life, the Bf 109 served as a platform for numerous experimental and radical ideas, from skis to a twin fuselage to the bizarre “Mistel” arrangement.

	The Messerschmitt Bf 109
		The Bf 109 was one of the best fighters in the war, owing mostly to the fact that its engine and guns were so powerful.
		The Bf 109 was the only German fighter of the time with capabilities that came close to matching Spitfires and Hurricanes in combat.
		At the outbreak of war in 1939, most squadrons of Bf 109 were model E's, which through 1940 participated in the Battle of Britain and Blitz, using bombers to entice interceptor squadrons to the air and then pouncing on them with cannons from a distance.

	MESSERSCHMITT ME 109G "GUSTAV" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Messerschmitt Bf 109 began as an entry by the Bayerische Flugzeugwerke in a Luftwaffe (German Air Force) fighter competition in the early 1930's.
		Pilots of the Bf 109G found it increasingly difficult to fly against more capable aircraft such as the P-51D "Mustang." Despite its limitations, the G series was the most numerous of the Bf 109 types and remained in production into 1945.
		During World War II, the Bf 109 was the backbone of the Luftwaffe fighter force, serving on all fronts and also in the air forces of its European allies.

	Bf 109
		The Bf 109s main enemy in the early days of the war was aircraft of the RAF, and here it is amusing to note that the first engine for the prototype Bf 109 was a Rolls Royce Kestrel engine of 700hp.
		More newer designes of the Bf 109 came out and were produced in prodigious numbers, but this failed to stop the gradual dominance the new Allied fighters were bringing.
		Largly the reason for this failure of the Bf 109 to keep pace with its Allie competitors was not the aircraft itself, rather the pilots that flew it.

		The Messerschmitt Bf 109 F was a major transformation of the famous Augsburg Eagle.

		Laureau gives 6•107 as a Bf 109 E-4, although this may simply be a misprint (The E-4 had a redesigned canopy with less rounded framing to the windscreen).
		The change from Bf 109 C to Bf 109 D is even more difficult to pin down, because there are few if any clear differences in external appearance between the C and D models.

	Messerschmitt Me-109 / Bf-109 Model Aircraft and Model kits.
		Willy Messerschmidt's 109 was always given the internal German Air Ministry designation of Bf 109, in the same way as its contemporary, the twin engine Bf 110 (which the British also incorrectly called the Me 110).
		Since, in 1937, the 109 could not have German Air Ministry factory designation (the British are great at sticking their heads in the sand) it had to have another.
		Equipped with the altitude version of the DB 605, the Bf 109F was a superior armed reconnaissance aircraft and the RAF had trouble dealing with it until well into 1944.

	Early Messerschmitt Bf 109 Review by Brett Green (Classic Airframes 1/48)
		Classic Airframes' 1/48 scale early Bf 109 kit comprises 35 parts in grey styrene; 22 parts in grey colored resin; a photo-etched fret; 3 clear injection molded parts; printed clear acetate sheet (instruments); instructions; decal sheet and painting guide for six aircraft (plus bonus decals for one more in two different markings).
		There is also a photo of this aircraft on a web page, "The Bf 109 in Spain" http://www.zi.ku.dk/personal/drnash/model/spain/bf109.html, which displays all the characteristics of either the Bf 109 V4 (which was the B model prototype), or an early production machine.
		I feel that Classic Airframes' early Bf 109 would be an ideal candidate for a modeller who has a few plastic kits under their belt and would like to try their first limited run offering.
