Messerschmitt Bf 109T, Alfred Jakobi

[Leo Etgen]

Hi guys

I've always read that the Bf 109 C-series did see some limited amount of combat in the Spanish Civil War but the author of this webpage suggests that may have not been so ... I very much doubt the type would have seen action anywhere else.

Horrido!

Good morning Vince and Leo,

nice to hear from you.
This article is balanced and convincing. I'll note down the Bf109C as not having scored at all.

I wish you a pleasant Sunday,

Michael

Good evening Vince & Leo,

somehow pictures of Alfred Jakobi are scarce. This is one of them:

Have a good Tuesday,

Interesting website, thanks for the link. I've had a particular interest in JG5, as Walter Schuck was a 'graduate' of my uncle's Ergaenzungsgruppe. I also got to know personally Wolfgang Rost and Hans Hermann Schmidt, and a memorable event was going flying with Rost in a Cessna.

Good morning Vince,

your personal acquaintances are impressing.

Today, I go to Erich von Däniken who is an author several books about possible extraterrestrial influences on early human culture.

I wish you a good weekend,

Michael

LOL Michael, I hope you aren't an adherent of those crazy Chariots of the Gods books of the distant past.

That would be seriously off-topic for this thread.

Hello Vince,

I enjoy scrutinizing all sides of a story before making up my mind.

Would you say that the Bf109T was the only subtype that was not defined by its powerplant type ?

Have a good Sunday evening,

Michael
