Description

The Bf 109D/E Blitzkrieg 1939-40 brings to life the realities of flying one of Germany's principal fighter aircraft types during the early battles of World War II. The Luftwaffe's Bf 109E, featuring the Daimler-Benz DB 601 powerplant, played a central role in many German victories before facing off against the RAF during the Battle of Britain. This book presents first-hand accounts and new artwork that vividly capture the experiences of pilots who flew these aircraft. The early variants of the Bf 109E-1, E-2, and E-3 were highly successful, but their successes eventually waned at the Battle of France. Luftwaffe aviation expert Malcolm V. Lowe examines and assesses the Bf 109 as a fighting machine from the perspective of the Luftwaffe. Contemporary photographs and specially commissioned artwork bring the stories of these pilots to life, with detailed diagrams illustrating key battle tactics.
