5.0 out of 5 stars A Beauty of a Book and Plane Part1, December 22, 2009
By 
This review is from: Messerschmitt Bf 109: The World's Most Produced Fighter From Bf 109 A to E (Hardcover)
Much has been written about the Bf(Messerschmitt) 109. This book is an outstanding blend of high quality glossy paper, clear photos, line drawings, color photos and history of the Bf-109 fighter plane from prototype to model E. Everything you would want to know is included here - the early development, what made each version different, photos/diagrams of the engine, air frame, weapons, technical data are all presented here.

Willy Messerschmitt designed this fighter which first flew in 1935. Small, fast, highly maneuverable, this was a world winner when it was produced. Battle tested in the Spanish Civil war, the Nazi propaganda machine hyped this plane, thereby increasing its legend.

I do wish that some of the line drawings and data were translated from German into English, but this observation is minor and does not detract from the overall quality of this book.

I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in WW2 aviation, the history of the Luftwaffe or the Bf 109.
