Re: Picture of LW plane with SD-2
Yes, a very interesting photo. But the caption is wrong. According to a Messerschmitt document in my file, the ONLY Bf 109 Emils eligible to carry the SD 2 were the Bf 109 E-7/U1, U2 and U3. No other Emil subtypes were authorized. In fact, the Bf 109 E-1/B, E-3/B and E-4/B were built to carry only 50, 250 and 500 kg bomb(s) in various combinations. The E-7 and E-8 also carried these bombs but without any notation change to their series designations.
