Re: Bf 109 V25

Thanks Leo

I only looked at page 136 of Radinger/Schick's book Bf 109 A-E from 1997.
I don't have their later? book about F - K, but it is interesting they now turn the prototypes back to what Prien/Rodeike already said in 1993.

How do they explain the peculiar phenomena that they say the V25 had a BAL date of 4 March 1939 (A-E book) when their V21, V23, V24 had not yet been built? (F-K book). Or do they subscribe to the theory that D-ICVK was not the V25 at all? Or did Messerschmitt begin a really slow production line where 5601 - 5605 took close to two years to build?

More confusing than I thought....

Cheers
Stig
