Messerschmitt BF 109 - A-D Series (Osprey)

From the nascent days of the Spanish Civil War to the desperate, final defence of the stricken Reich, the Messerchmitt Bf 109 was the Luftwaffe's signature fighter. From the very beginning of its combat career it came to symbolize what could be achieved with a modern monoplane fighter aircraft, instilling fear and respect into Allied pilots wherever it was encountered. 35,000 of the ubiquitous Messerschmitts were eventually built, making it the most-produced fighter in history.
This is the first Air Vanguard volume to cover the Bf 109, detailing models A-D. Featuring stunning aerial photos the title explores in depth the technical characteristics and combat performance of the early Bf 109s, including their combat debut in the Spanish Civil War, their employment in the invasion of Poland and showing how the type became one of the most famous names in aviation history.

Contents: Introduction - Design and Development - Technical Specifications and Variants - Operational History - Conclusion - Bibliography and Further Reading.

Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-F Series (Osprey)

The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was one of the truly world class piston-engined fighters of World War II. This reputation rests largely with the E and F variants, which bore the brunt of the Luftwaffe's most important operations in World War II and shot down tens of thousands of Allied aircraft in the Battle of Britain, the Blitzkriegs across Europe and on the Eastern Front.

This volume looks at the design and development history of these formidable warplanes, with a meticulous technical focus to reveal why the types were so effective. It explores the long process of tweaks to the E variant, and solutions to the many initial technical problems with the F, and how this development helped Willy Messerschmitt's promising Bf 109 design mature and fulfil its potential.

Contents: Introduction - Design and Development - Technical Specifications and Variants - Operational History - Conclusion - Bibliography and Further Reading.

Messerschmitt Bf 109 F-K - Development, Testing, Production

As the Luftwaffe's standard fighter, beginning in 1937 the Bf 109 was produced in large numbers and after the outbreak of the Second World War saw action over every front.
With this light, high-performance aircraft Professor Willy Messerschmitt had created a ground-breaking design. The Bf 109 had to remain in continuous development in order to keep pace with advances in Allied fighter design.

1941 saw the advent of the Bf 109 F, a clearly improved version, which was soon replaced by the more powerful and better armed Bf 109 G. The Bf 109 H high-altitude fighter reached a ceiling of 14,000 meters, and the Bf 109 K, the most potent of all the variants of this fighter aircraft, entered production in the last year of the war.

This is a complete summary of all versions from the Bf 109 F to K with many photographs, some never before published, and details.

The Messerschmitt Bf 109 E - Germany's Premier Early World War II Fighter (Legends of Warfare)

Bf 109 E "Emil" wszedł do służby w 1938 roku, napędzany potężnym silnikiem DB 601, co czyniło go jednym z najzdolniejszych myśliwców swoich czasów. Po wzięciu udziału w wojnie domowej w Hiszpanii, Emil stał się głównym myśliwcem Niemiec w pierwszych latach II wojny światowej, służąc w Polsce, Francji, Niderlandach, Wielkiej Brytanii, na Bałkanach i w Afryce Północnej.

W czerwcu 1941 roku, podczas "Operacji Barbarossa", Emil został w dużej mierze zastąpiony przez Bf 109 F jako główny myśliwiec Luftwaffe. Nadal jednak pełnił różne role, w tym myśliwsko-bombowy, rozpoznawczy i szkoleniowy. Bf 109 E był pilotowany przez wielu najlepszych niemieckich asów myśliwskich w pierwszych latach wojny.
