The Messerschmitt Bf109 was the mainstay of German fighter aircraft throughout the last war and is an enduring theme for German aircraft enthusiasts, especially the Type E, which was the main model in the early stages of the war and was involved in many dramatic battles on the Eastern Front and North African Front, as well as in mortal combat with the Spitfire. Following the publication of the Bf109F Mechanical Guide in June 2013, the second volume of the Takao Kunie Ultimate Analysis Series focuses on the E and T types. The book includes a detailed structural description verified on the basis of existing actual parts and manuals, and a collection of photographs of the E-type including unpublished photos, making this a very dense guide to the actual aircraft, as is typical of Kunie, a renowned German aircraft researcher. Of course, it also includes articles on building 1/72, 1/48 and 1/32 scale plastic kits and kit guides. The latest issue is a must-see for fans of German aircraft.
- Many photographs of actual parts in existence are introduced. - Many unpublished photographs of the Type E from the time of the war are included. - Detailed explanations of the construction of the actual aircraft with manuals. - Also includes kit guides and examples for each scale.
