An insight into owning, flying and maintaining the Luftwaffe's legendary single-seat fighter.
Messerschmitt Bf109 Introduction
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.
Repair Manual Description
Destined for greatness from its maiden flight, the iconic Messerschmitt Bf109 has become one of the greatest fighter aircraft of all time.
A worthy - and often deadly - opponent of RAF Spitfires and Hurricanes in the Battle of Britain, the Bf109 was one of the few high-performance frontline aircraft of its time to be produced and to fight throughout the Second World War, from start to finish.
This companion volume to the acclaimed Haynes Supermarine Spitfire Manual tells the Messerschmitt Bf109 story, focusing on the Bf109G version.
Fully illustrated with archive photographs and specially commissioned colour images, the Messerschmitt Bf109 Manual includes technical illustrations from Luftwaffe wartime servicing manuals, and coverage of restoration projects in the UK and overseas.
