Übersichtsliste der Änderungs-Anweisungen Bf 109

[Matti Salonen]

Gentlemen,

There is nothing strange in this list. I found it already 35 years ago from the Finnish Military Archive and read the first two pages (Erläuterungen) to understand, how it is supposed to work.
This bunch of pages, which was mailed to the Finnish Air Force is simply a revision dated 1.7.1943 and contains pages 41-42, which have to be changed in the original list and pages 61-71, which have to be added to the original list. Next revision should have been published 1.10.1943 (four revisions per year).
Therefore, to get a complete picture of Bf 109 modifications, one has to have also all other pages, i.e.1-40, 43-60 and all pages published after page 71. I am sure, that also a few later revisions have been sent to the Finnish Air Force, but unfortunately they have not been saved in archives.
I strongly suggest that people, who live near big archives (NARA, IWM, Deutsches Museum etc) try to find out the complete list (also similar of other aircraft types). I tried to do that 35 years ago, but then it was impossible from Finland, when snail mail was the fastest way of communication (I had a telex equipment available, but all the archives had not). I believe, that the last revision status should be 1.1.1945 or at least 1.10.1944.
Also I hope, that somebody, who is fluent both in German and English, would translate the first two pages to be added to Andreas's site.

Best regards,

Matti
