Description
Lavishly illustrated, this book covers the combat history of the Messerschmitt Bf 109T.
The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was a German World War II fighter aircraft designed by Willy Messerschmitt in the early 1930s.
It was one of the first true modern fighters of the era.
Having gone through its baptism of fire in the Spanish Civil War, the Bf 109 was still in service at the dawn of the jet age at the end of World War II. In the fall of 1938, the Technische Amt RLM (Technical Office of the Reichsluftfahrtministerium or State Ministry of Aviation) requested that Messerschmitt's Augsburg design bureau draw up plans for a carrier-borne version of the Bf 109E fighter, to be designated Bf 109T (the"T" standing for Trager or Carrier).
The resulting aircraft were nicknamed 'Toni' by their pilots. Content includes carrier Graf Zeppelin and her aircraft; operational service, including its new role over the North Sea and comes with free masking foil and decals. About the SeriesAir Battles is a series of books focusing on World War II air battles of specific aircraft and units.
Each volume contains information on the planes involved, lists of scores, pilot reports and portraits, colour profile artwork and maps.
