Re: Messerschmitt Bf109E-7
According to Mtt's "Verwendungsmöglichkeit des Jagdflugzeuges BF 109 E" of July 1940, the 109E-7 was designated as a "fighter, as well as dive bomber, with extended range." It could be fitted either with the bomb fairing for the 250/500 kg bomb, or four 50kg bombs; or with a 300ltr drop tank with a supplementary oil tank. (I think that the idea behind this a/c was to permit the carrying of either bombs or extra fuel, which I don't believe was possible for earlier models of the 109E.)
The report indicated that the loss of speed with the 500kg bomb was ca. 30km/h, and without ca. 7 km/h. And, with the drop tank caused a speed loss of ca. 12 km/h; without, 4 km/h (I would assume these values to be calculated). And, from another report, it was noted that the a/c carried MG FF "M" wing guns. Last edited by George Hopp; 8th March 2006 at 05:52.
