Bf 109B-1 W.Nos. question

[olefebvre]

i won't put to much effort in correctly matching Anton's WkNrs as for instance WkNr 884 is reffered to in several documents as a B...
My listing is much more complete and based on Losses, prodction doc, test doc from Mtt, FB and various other sources, and frankly there are a lot of inconsistencies between all those sources when it comes to the early variants.

Stig: Prien makes no committment and just says production was B and mentions no B-1 or B-2.

He is simply following Messerschmitt's own nomenclature for the Bf 109B. It did not differentiate between the two types of the a/c. The tags -- B-1 and B-2 -- have only come into use post-war to differentiate between the early a/c with the Schwarz propeller, and the later a/c with the VDM propeller. I am not certain, but I think that when the a/c was upgraded to the VDM propeller, it also got the later, more vertical, windshield.
