Yes, but the Bf109A did not score any kills, did it?

Re: Bf109A,B,C,D in Legion Condor
I thought these three April 1937 kills were scored in the Bf109B...
But I suppose, they used the Bf109B from May onwards (?) with Harro Harder becoming the top-scorer of that subtype with 10 kills. |

Re: Bf109A,B,C,D in Legion Condor
That's interesting...Günther Lützow is believed to have flown 6-10 until the end of August. That would make him a Bf109A ace with 5 kills in that subtype.
Rolf Pingel might have equalled that score (3-5 kills) but he is known also to have used 6-21, too. Peter Boddem (2-9 kills) might even have surpassed Lützow but I don't know his serial. |

Hello
The denomination Bf.109 B-1/B-2 does not exist....it's Bf0109 A and Bf.109 B. First "abschus" with a Bf109 A:6/4/37 (Lützow a Curtis;probably actually a Letow S.231) First "abschus" with a Bf.109 B:27/08/37(Harder) After the arrival of the Bf.109 B,the surviving Bf.109 A were upgraded (autumn 1937) The significant changes were the installation of a metal,variable-pitch propeller and the replacement of the removable cowling sections with Bf.109 B-type incorporating cooling vents. The surviving examples of the Bf.109 A were indistinguishable from the Bf.109 B Top "Abschusse" Bf.109 A:6.10 (15),6.16 (7:Fleischmann=3,Oesau=2) Lützof=5 with Model A Pingel=5 with Model A Boddem=8 (+2 unc.) with Model A Fleischmann=3 with Model A (6.16) Radusch=1 with Model A Höness=3 with Model A Ihlefeld=2+ with Model A Oesau=3 with Model A (1 with 6.6,2 with 6.16) Flegel=1(+3 unc.) with model A (6.7?)
