Another question to ask regarding Bf109's
Hi again..sorry for asking all these questions but I do want to get this drawing historically accurate. The question is this: when the 109 pilot bailed out...how did the canopy move...backwards, tilted or did it eject??.. Hope someone can clear this up for me...
Best Wishes Kevin Moffat

Re: Another question to ask regarding Bf109's
The middle section of the canopy tilted to starboard. For 109s equipped with the Erla Haube (late-model Gs and Ks), the entire rear section of the canopy tilted to starboard. For details, check any book on the 109.

Re: Another question to ask regarding Bf109's
When the pilot of a 109 wanted to bailout, he jettisoned the whole canopy.
Look at he photo in this thread, http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showthread.php?t=11074
