Re: Step in and grip openings on the starboard side of Bf 109E?

In my opinion the most important reason for introducing the grip and the step at the starboard side was the fact, that for each start up of the engine a mechanic had to climb on the wing to turn the starter. Without those helps they would need a ladder.
Best regards
