	Messerschmitt Bf 109 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Me 109 was the name used officially by the Luftwaffe propaganda publications as well as by the Messerschmitt company and the Luftwaffe personnel, who pronounced it 'may hundred-nine'.
		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.
		Messerschmitt responded with the updated Me 155A series, but work on the ship was again canceled and the Me 155 was later re-purposed as a high-altitude interceptor.

	Messerschmitt Bf. 109 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		109 brought the era of the biplane to a definite close, imposing qualitative standards that sooner or later were to serve as reference points for aircraft manufacturers all over the world.
		Willy Messerschmitt’s fighter not only placed Germany suddenly in the vanguard the field of military aviation, but it also became the progenitor of all the pure combat planes that were to emerge from the conflict.
		109 had a fierce adversary (and not only in the skies over Europe) in another "immortal", the British Supermarine Spitfire, with which it participated in a continuous technological chase, aimed at gaining supremacy in the air and leading to the continuous strengthening and improving of both aircraft.

	EADS N.V. - Messerschmitt Bf 109
		The Bf 109 was a monospar cantilever low-wing aircraft with a fuselage attached retractable gear, which should enable the easy transport of the fuselage on a flat car after dismounting the wings.
		A peculiarity were the carrier-based Bf 109 T that were developed from the Bf 109 E. With catapult fitting, catch hook and enlarged wings the machines of the Bf 109 T-1 type were intended for operations from the aircraft carrier "Graf Zeppelin".
		Already in 1939 Messerschmitt began a fundamental revision of the Bf 109 E. The airframe and the wings were aerodynamically refined, the internal fuel tanks were enlarged and the armour plating for the pilot were improved.

	FLUG REVUE October 1997: Messerschmitt Me 109
		The Bf 109 was developed on the basis of a bid from the Reichsluftfahrtministerium (RLM) from December 1933 concerning a light fighter.
		Originally, the 109 was supposed to be powered by either a Junker Jumo 210 or a BMW 116 engine, both of them being liquid-cooled twelve-cylinder power plants.
		Messerschmitt himself described the advantages as follows: "minimum measurements and surface, the lightest materials, equal loads, and especially the bundling of several functions in the same parts." The consequent application of the goals lead to a simplification of the production.

		The Messerschmitt model that bore the brunt of the Battle of Britain was the Bf 109E.
		This was to became the most numerous ME 109 model of all, produced in many variations, but the basic design was starting to show its age.

		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.
		The redesignation of the Bayerische Flugzeugwerke AG (Aktiengesellschaft or Corporation) to the Messerschmitt AG in 1938 led many to call it the Me 109, although the official Luftwaffe designation of the aircraft remained the Bf 109 throughout the war.
		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.

	Messerschmitt Bf 109
		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.
		Throughout the development of the Bf 109, Messerschmitt, unlike American designers, retained guns in the fuselage that fired through the propeller arc and were necessarily synchronized.

	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.
		The idea that Messerschmidt himself got the Me prefix rolling with Mitchell is pure speculation, but it fits the man's character as an avid self-promoter and of course would have been exactly the sort of behavior that infuriated Milch.

		The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was a World War II fighter aircraft designed in the early 1930s, one of the first truly modern fighters of the era.
		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.

		As the Bf 109 E-3, but with the wing guns replaced with 20mm Mg FF canon, which had muzzles that projected beyond the leading edge of the wing.
		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.

		The standard German fighter plane throughout World War II was a single-engine, low-wing monoplane known as the Messerschmitt Bf-109, of which more than 35,000 were produced during a ten-year span from 1935 until the war's end.
		The Bf-109 was designed by Willi Messerschmitt and, in 1937, set a new world speed record for land planes by flying at just a fraction under 380 miles per hour.
		Still the Messerschmitt was the world's fastest and deadliest operational fighter plane when it first saw service during the Spanish Civil War.

		Bearing in mind that the Bf 109 was to become one of the Royal Air Force's major opponents in the Second World War, it is ironic that the prototype had a British Rolls-Royce Kestrel engine when it made its first flight in September 1935.
		Simultaneously, specially prepared versions and developments of the Bf 109, fitted with greatly boosted engines, gained a series of world speed records, some of which were to remain unbeaten for 30 years.
		The fact that the Bf 109 had too limited a range to be fully effective as a bomber escort during this battle persuaded the German authorities to consider the type most useful as a defensive fighter in Europe.

		First flown in September 1935, few could have foreseen that the small Messerschmitt Bf 109 would become the standard German day-fighter of the war, serving in all theaters and with over 35,000 units produced, more than any other fighter in history.
		Like all great aircraft of its time, the Bf 109 went through various modifications in order to remain a potent fighter in North Africa, the Eastern Front and defending the Reich after 1942.
		Not as capable as the Fw 190 (except at high altitude), it was nevertheless a mainstay of the Luftwaffe throughout the entire war ruining many bombing raids in the process.

		Covering the Me 209 through the 609 (which is a mix of both real and paper projects), this book also covers the Jumo-engined Czech examples and the Merlin engined Spanish examples, giving a pleasant blend of real and hypothetical planes.
		The coverage of real airframes such as the Czech and Spanish examples is first rate, and the rest gives some insight into the thoughts of the Messerschmitt designers as the war progressed.

		The birth of the Bf 109 was the outcome of political feuding between Erhard Milch and Willy Messerschmitt, which threatened extinction of the private Bayerische Flugzeugwerke.
		Three further prototypes (the Bf 109 V2 registered D-IUDE, Bf 109 V3 D-IHNY and Bf 109 V4 D-IOQY) were flown in 1936, powered by Jumo 210A engines and with provision for two synchronized 7.92 mm (0.31 in) MG 17 machine-guns in the nose decking.
		Two further prototypes, the Bf 109 V11 and Bf 109 V12, were fitted with the production type Daimler-Benz DB 600A, resulting in a substantial improvement in performance, a maximum speed of 323 mph (520 km/h) was attained and the service ceiling boosted to 31,170 ft (9500 m).
