Bf 109 production and deployment details for 1940

[Kurfürst]

Hi,

I was wondering about this for a while, relating to the Battle of France and Battle of Britiain period of Bf 109 supply and reserves.

Does anyone has detailed statistics on monthly production figures, preferably by subtype, and number of planes in strategic reserve etc?

Oddly enough, the later variants seem to be much better covered production history than the Emils.. I have not seen a good book or source on Emil production and deployment history so far. Any recommendations?

Hello Kurfürst,

Have a look at Die Jagdfliegerverbände der Deutschen Luftwaffe 1934 bis 1945, Teil 3, by J Prien, G Stemmer, P Rodeike and W Bock, page 67 and 68 - Zuweisungen am die Luftflotten und Verbände 1940 from 12.05.40 - 30.06.40 and Jagdflugzeugverluste zwischen Sept 1939 und Juni 1940 --

this might answer some of your questions -

Regards
Rob

Thanks a lot for the recommendation, Rob, I will surely check it out!

I hope the enclosed details can be of interest.

Absolutely excellent, thank you, that's exactly the kind of detail I needed!!

One question though, being an ignoramus for Lieferplans : would this table contain all previous Emil production so far in practical terms ?

To find earlier Bf 109 models you have too go to Lieferplans preceeding those I quoted from. I will see what I can find tomorrow, I know I have got them.
