No problem moose... add 1,000 or so lbs of strengthened airframe, arrestor hook, folding wings etc to a standard 109E and you could have one. Sorta, a slow, clumsy 109e with even less range. Love to run into one of them in a F4f-3 or Hellcat.

hehe

even the obvious trolls get a few bites.

i was joking all - i'd like to see a 109E too, clipped wings and all. was just trying to remember designation and info for the brief carrier version.

there was a story a while back about how some special unit used the 109Ts. Anyone remember?

Damn... I remember when the LW weenies actually had a whining reputation. This is the best they can come up with these days?

The Jagdstaffel Helgoland, later designated 11/ JG 11. They were used on short landing strips in Norway, because their larger wings made them easier to take off/land.

That's about all I know.
