Re: Mirrors on Bf 109

I remember pictures of E-series 109s of II. and III./JG 52 in early 1940, i. e. before the Franch campaign started, having mirrors mounted on their windshield frames. All the German fighter pilots I know regard mirrors as ridiculous. As Julius Meimberg put it: "When you see the other guy in your mirror, you're dead."
