Re: Bf 109B-1 W.Nos. question

1719 is marked as D-1 /in fact as D1/ 1720 is a C-1, 1717 as B-1

1676 is a B-1 but then a big gap till 1690 a B-1, then a new gap till 1706 B-1 these gaps are quite big even if my list is far to be completed gen one could miss but not more, maybe a lot sent to Spain that failed to return

I could send you my complete list for B nd D, I never found a A...

On an other list where appears mostly the Knz , I could read at least 40 bf109 totally lost for 37/38

Re: Bf 109B-1 W.Nos. question

Thank You Seaplane and Remi

I attach my home made Me 109A/B/C production list for all to see and comment. It is not easy to sit in your home sifting various experts statements in publications published. Just take the 109B-2! What was that and where is its production? Prien makes no committment and just says production was B and mentions no B-1 or B-2. Schick /Radinger mentions BOTH types, illustrate mostly B-2 but mentions ONLY B-1 in their production table! In their list the Spanish Bf 109B were B-1 but their photos ID each one as B-2...

I haven't heard of any B-0, although they make sense! However I find a bit awkward to accept that production B-1 used later as prototypes V-9 and up would suddenly get a B-0 designation attached to them.It makes NO sense to start a batch of B-1 in Augsburg and all of a sudden call some of them B-0....
If you look at the production list, the ONLY two A that could possibly fit to make up the 22 listed in German docs are WNr 998-999. What do you think?
Remi

I am not sure what you mean with WNr 1719 is "marked" D1. Do you have a photo or document? Again your source please. To me it makes NO sense at all to have ONE SINGLE D-1 in the middle of a B-1 and C-1 batch....

Cheers
Stig

Re: Bf 109B-1 W.Nos. question

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.

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.
