I began my interest in the Luftwaffe and buying books and magazines about it in 1964 as a result of a bad accident in Freiburg that put my Oldsmobile F-85 out of commission for nearly a year. No more nightly runs to the Gasthäuser. Since then (58 years ago), I would conservatively guess some 250 books and major articles have appeared on the beloved Bf 109. How many more will have to be published before the few buyers that are left finally say, "Okay, I've got everything I need now, you can stop the presses!"

Well, Larry. Let's take care of that.

Volume One: Photo and technical identification guide. I'm talking about as many good, clean photos of all the production versions and variations, all the field conversion kits and other add-on equipment, with arrows if need be and copious references to original documents like service manuals.

Volume Two: Engines and internal cockpit equipment, with details about gun-sights and radios.

Volume Three: Airframe internal details, test document references and performance data against any Allied fighters.
