Hello,

Currently on ebay is a photo of Bf 109 KD+SK at:

Has anyone any information concerning the subtype of this Bf 109 and the unit operating this machine?

Regards,

Clint

This was an early variant of the Bf 109. Judging solely by a similar StKz (KD+SY), this was a Bf109D-1, likely manufactured in the year 1938. No further info.

Hi Sidney,


Thanks for the reply.


The problem is that the KD+S* block is very mixed,containing other variants of Bf 109 and other aircraft types entirely. As an example KD+SB is a Bf 109 F-2.Not that I'm saying that it isn't a Bf 109 D-1.It may be.Alas I lack the knowledge to identify the variant,hence the question.


Regards,


Clint

Hi Clint,

I see. Your photo shows an early variant of a Bf 109 fighter aircraft, with two propeller blades. Thus, it may have been either Bf 109 B, Bf 109 C-1 or C-3 or Bf 109 D-1. These were manufactured between early 1937 and late 1938. I cannot say which one is shown on the photo, but someone on this forum maybe able to do so.
