What if the 109 wasn't produced? Well, Hyperscale would be in big troubles to find something to put on its pages! :lol:

Scott, never mind the He 112, I'd go for the He 100D, now that was one mean plane!


True, but the He 100 came later strangely enough, though it might have been a significant upgrade for the He 112 further on (almost akin to the upgrade from the Bf 109E to the F/G series)[/quote]

I don't take any article or book as the definitive truth, I have found too many descrepencies in them (ie the Bf vs. Me thing)

I don't bother with the Bf/Me thing, life is too short for that.

I leave it to the rivet counters over at Hyperscale to decide what to do with this!

:lol:

the bf vs me bit is not confusing at all. designed by Messerschmidt so had a Me designation for messerschmidt to deal with. But made by Bayerisch Flugzeugwerk so had a Bf designation for dealing with the factory. simple. now to hope I had the spelling of those correct.

well, at least that's how I had it explained to me.

Heh, lets start referring to Erla built 109's as Er 109 just to drive the 109 fans nuts :)

why yes, I am evil, thank you for asking.
