The iconic Messerschmitt Bf109 was one of the most famous warplanes of the Second World War era, and is arguably among the greatest combat aircraft of all time. It was one of Germany's principal fighter aircraft during the war, and was a worthy and often deadly opponent to Allied planes. It was a contemporary of the legendary Supermarine Spitfire, and like the Spitfire was one of the few high-performance front-line aircraft of its time to be produced and to fight throughout the war, from start to finish.
Messerschmitt Bf109 Manual is a companion volume to the acclaimed Haynes Supermarine Spitfire Manual and tells the Messerschmitt Bf109 story, focusing on the Bf109G version. The authors describe how to restore a 109 to flight, relate the experience of owners, pilots and engineers, and provide detailed insights into operating and servicing this legendary Luftwaffe fighter. Data boxes cover Bf109 facts and figures, plus interviews with Luftwaffe pilots and modern-day owner-pilots.
Fully illustrated with a mix of specially commissioned colour and archive photographs, the Messerschmitt Bf109 Manual also includes illustrations from Luftwaffe official wartime servicing manuals, and coverage of restoration projects in the UK and overseas.
