Description:
New book, 48 pages, 50 photos, 54 colour profiles, 82 drawings. When the Messerschmitt design team headed by Walter Rethel started in 1934 with the work on a new fighter for the luftwaffe, this work resulted in a fighter aircraft that gained the same fame as the British Spitfire. The new fighter type became known as the Me-109 (or Bf-109 where Bf stood for the original name Bayerische Flugzeugwerke). Production started in 1937 and continued until the end of the war. However the latest ME-109 versions had little in common with the first versions. The two versions that were in production until the end of the war were the Me-109G and the much improved last version the Me-109K.
