Four blade Bf109K - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

Greetings all,

long time ago I hear about Bf109K with four bladed propeller and that few (?) samples were delivered to the operational unit. What is actually known about this type?

Cheers

I suppose you are referring to the Bf 109K-14 which was to feature the DB605L with two-stage supercharger and a four-bladed prop. It was in mock up, but there is no documented proof it ever flew or was issued to any unit.
