Messerschmitt Bf 109G Production Costs?
I am looking for details on various costs involved in manufacturing the Messerschmitt Bf 109G. Namely, manhours needed and manhours costs, materials costs, general costs related to manufacturing and any additional costs.
Any pointers to published sources would be welcome.

Re: Messerschmitt Bf 109G Production Costs?
Did you check Budraß Flugzeugindustrie und Luftrüstung in Deutschland 1918-1945?
Not certain, but I thought I came across some extensive cost analysis stats, incl. Bf 109 and Fw 190 production numbers. Perhaps someone else knows more exactly.

Re: Messerschmitt Bf 109G Production Costs?
I have Lutz Budraß' book, directly from the Author.
I'll check it in a moment. Thanks for the hint. I also checked Vajda's 'German Aircraft Industry and Production', but found no relevant data in it.

Re: Messerschmitt Bf 109G Production Costs?
Budraß has a lot of data, but it is rather scattered and none that I can remenber on complete aircraft cost or price. I do remember a manhour table for Ju 88, Bf 109 and Fw 190 from 1939 to 1944. Another source is "Arming the Luftwaffe" by Homze. Selling prices for Bf 109s in 1939 are given as follows: BFW-per 100 (74,000 RM), 100-200 (72,000 RM), 200-500 (70,000
RM). There is another line in the table for fully equipped 148,000, 135,000 and 130,000 RM respectively, with an engine cost of 47,000 RM. I suspect that one of the best places to look might be the USSBS, I found some pretty good cost data there for Ju 88s. Best regards, Artie Bob

Re: Messerschmitt Bf 109G Production Costs?
Hi Art,
Just curious, but what would a Ju 88 (A-4 or S-1/S-3 for example) cost to build (ROM) compared to a single engine fighter such as the Bf 109? Was a Ju 88 for example twice as complicated to build or much more? Best regards, Marcel

Re: Messerschmitt Bf 109G Production Costs?
In 1941, the second contract batch of Ju 88 A-4s unit cost was 266,000 RM. This did not include development costs which were billed separately.
Each contract batch was billed separately so cost varied both as a function of time and which factory built the aircraft. Source: JFM Monats-Bericht. Best regards, Artie Bob
