From the publisher: An illustrated history of the evolution of the “Emil” version of Germany’s most famous World War II fighter aircraft shows how the Bf 109E changed during production from 1936 to 1941, providing a visual guide to versions from the E-0 to the E-9 and documenting the engine variants which led to design changes, along with the introduction of fuel injection. Color plates provide dozens of paint schemes from northern Europe to North Africa campaigns. Wartime photos, drawings from technical manuals, and color photos of preserved aircraft.
FSM says: Modelers building the Emil in particular and the Bf 109 in general will benefit greatly from this comprehensive review of all aspects of the aircraft, from intake to tail wheel and everything in between. Highly useful images of cockpit, landing gear, engine and cowling, internal structure — even antenna mounts.
