| | WW2 Warbirds: the Messerschmitt Bf 109 - Frans Bonné |
 | | Production of the Bf 109F-0 then started, but because the Daimler-Benz DB 601E as well as the 15 mm MG 151 cannons were not available, these aircraft were fitted with 1 × Daimler-Benz DB 601N rated at 1,200 hp (895 kW), and a 20 mm MG FF in stead of the 15 mm MG 151. |
 | | Because the Bf 109G-1 was meant to be a pure fighter, the forward armament was restricted to 1 × 20 mm MG 151/20 cannon in a moteur-canon installation, and 2 × 0.312 inch (7,92 mm) MG 17 fixed forward-firing guns in the upper part of the nose. |
 | | It was powered by 1 × Daimler-Benz DB 605L inverted-Vee with a 2-stage superchrager and with the MW 50 water-methonal power-boost system, rated at 1,700 hp (1.268 kW) at take-off and 1,350 hp (1.007 kW) at 31,400 ft (9.570 m). |
