MESSERSCHMITT BF 109 - GB EDITION

Autorevole trattazione del Messerschmitt Bf 109 corredata da una vasta iconografia che comprende foto in bianco e nero, molte delle quali inedite, profili a colori di J-M Guillou e numerosi disegni al tratto.

Built to 33.675 units, the Messerschmitt Bf 109 remains today source of fascination, both for the enthusiasts of aviation and the contemporary military history fans. This fighter symbolizes as much the power and the superiority of the Luftwaffe during the first war years, as the ferocity of the air combats during the Battle of England. After years of patients and meticulous searches in the Messerschmitt and Daimler-Benz archives, with the cooperation of recognized specialists and of anonymous enthusiasts, Jean-Claude Mermet and Christian-Jacques Ehrengardt conceived this monograph like a technical guide in order to facilitate the identification of the various versions of the famous Luftwaffe's fighter. The authors testify through nearly 200 pages, widely illustrated with plans and color profiles designed by Jean-Marie Guillou, as well as a rich and very often new iconography, the power and the complexity of this plane of legend.
