Hello,

Currently on ebay is a photo of Bf 109 KD+SK at:

Has anyone any information concerning the subtype of this Bf 109 and the unit operating this machine?

Regards,

This was an early variant of the Bf 109. Judging solely by a similar StKz (KD+SY), this was a Bf109D-1, likely manufactured in the year 1938. No further info.

Hi Sidney,


Thanks for the reply.


The problem is that the KD+S* block is very mixed,containing other variants of Bf 109 and other aircraft types entirely. As an example KD+SB is a Bf 109 F-2.Not that I'm saying that it isn't a Bf 109 D-1.It may be.Alas I lack the knowledge to identify the variant,hence the question.


Regards,


Clint

Hi Clint,

I see. Your photo shows an early variant of a Bf 109 fighter aircraft, with two propeller blades. Thus, it may have been either Bf 109 B, Bf 109 C-1 or C-3 or Bf 109 D-1. These were manufactured between early 1937 and late 1938. I cannot say which one is shown on the photo, but someone on this forum maybe able to do so.
