Bf109T
 

Greetings all,

there is one book on this subject:

http://www.worldwartwobooks.com/prod...-naval-fighter

If you read summary of this book, you will note at the end that it was used until 1944, which is very long service for aircraft in most cases similar to E series. Any idea which one was served so long?

Cheers :)

Re: Bf109T
 

I think Frank Marshall would have something to say about that being the only book on the Bf 109 T. More than that I will not say...

I note you link to the most prolific author in the history of Luftwaffe writing also. I will say no more than that on that point also...

Thank you John :)

And in case anybody else reading this doesn't quite grasp what I am driving at, with regard to Frank, read this: http://www.luftwaffe-experten.org/fo...showtopic=6668

Re: Bf109T
 

To add that as the ressource is scarce on this plane, nd that very few, if any, seems to be added to Francis book, I wonder if ...

Don't quite follow what you mean, Rémi.

Re: Bf109T
 

There was also a book published by a Norwegian author on the 109T. Can't put hands on it right now, but it was pretty good, as was Frank's book.... Paul

Re: Bf109T
 

Maybe this book from Norway could be excellent source of info, they have very good researchers and publications.

Re: Bf109T
 

Don't quite follow what you mean, Rémi.

Just that no necessity to make a second book , as the first one was quite complete , nd material for the subject is not so large nd few surfaced since publication.

To add that the book of Francis, gives a large place to history, not just naming the planes by STKZ nd Wn.

Hi, all!

The two books by Francis Marschall, one in German and a revised version in English is the definitive reference on the Bf 109T, not on the aircraft only but also the units using it and the personalities flying it.

The booklet on the Bf 109T in the series Profiles in Norway is a camouflage and markings oriented work, made in full cooperation and understanding and with important contributions from Francis.

I cannot comment on the work by Murawski - I have not read the book at all, only made a mental note that there was an out-of-court settlement made related to breach of copyright.

All right.... nothing precise said but- no operational T in 1944? Please don't misunderstand me- I plan to build kit of this plane and I have search all available info I could get and then get upon this info. Placing of link here is point on source of info, nothing else.

Thank you for all of your comments :)

P.S. no way to build kit until I get any descent book or few pages sample for build and paint reference

Hi

Definitely operational Bf 109T's in 1944!

Get the camouflage and markings booklet by Aakra and Kjaeraas as a reference.

Thank you Andreas- way to go :)

Re: Bf109T
 

One possible correction - I believe the English book is a translation of Frank Marshall's first work on the subject, and that his German second edition (not translated) has details not present in the English.

Re: Bf109T
 

Hi, Graham

You are right I think, have to check tonight.
