Title: Bf-109 Books
Post by: Imowface on September 20, 2010, 06:05:11 PM

I have recently taken interest in this plane, can anyone name some good books that arnt too hard to find?
I know there are lots of 109 fans on here so I though this would be a good place to ask

If you're just looking for some general knowledge (as in not trying to find out exactley what kind of radio a plane carried, exact dimensions of the canopy, etc.):

(http://franckruffino.chez.com/Images/Livre_Bf109_FG&K_s_V0050.jpg)

Model to model alterations, radio/photo recon variants, many many pictures, full color gallery, panel and compartment diagrams, dimensions of fuselage, deployment numbers, and some brief history.
