Messerschmitt Memmingen Erprobungsberichte

[Steve Coates]

Between June 1944 and February 1945 Messerschmitt Memmingen issued a series of 15 Erprobungsberichte dealing with ironing out some of the remaining issues with the Bf 109. I have found a couple of these reports on T-2 microfilms and have been helped by the English (as opposed to the Canadian) researcher David Brown with a couple more.

Between us we have found the following Berichte: 2,3, 6, 12 and 15. The quality of course reflects the quality of the microfilms.

As these will be of interest to a number of researchers, I have put these up on WeTransfer for download.

This link will only be valid for seven days.

I would be very interested to hear from anyone else who can help fill any gaps in this sequence.

Hi Steve,
Thank you very much for sharing these highly valuable documents.
First and quick glance on MK108 installation on one Bf109G wings and two K-4 wings ...
That's a good start for 2021!
Happy new year to all.
Regards,
Franck.

From T-2 microfilms, the following reports can also be found:
- Me 109 Erprobungsbericht Nr. 4 u. 5 v. 28.7. bis 24.8.44
- Me 109 Erprobungsbericht Nr. 7 u. 8 v. 8.9. bis 5.10.44
- Me 109 Erprobungsbericht Nr. 9 v. 6.10.44 bis 19.10.44

Since no. 15 was the last report issued, missing are thus nos. 1, 10, 11 and 14.

[Steve Coates]

Thanks. Are you able to supply copies or confirm which reels?

[the_ivan]

Me 109 EB Nr. 4/5 can be found on reels 2278 and 8280, Nr. 7/8 on reel 2665 and Nr. 9 on reel 2105.

HTH.

Thanks for these Steve.


I've just tried cleaning up a page in Photoshop to make it more readable. It seemed to work, so if I come across others, I'll do the same.
