You're Top Poster: #3   | Bf 109 From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_Bf_109 Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-2/trop "Black 6", WkNr 10639. 1997 Duxford Airshow. The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was a German World War II fighter aircraft designed by Willy Messerschmitt in the early 1930s. It was one of the first true modern fighters of the era, including such features as an all-metal monocoque construction, a closed canopy, and retractable landing gear. The Bf 109 was produced in greater quantities than any other fighter aircraft in history, with 30,573 units built alone during 1939-1945. Fighter production totalled 47% of all German aircraft production, and the Bf 109 accounted for 57% of all fighter types produced[1]. BF109BLACK6.jpg

You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?

You're Top Poster: #1  | This site has great colour profiles (and some photos) of the different varients, and countries who used the 109: http://www.xs4all.nl/~tozu/me109/index.htm The Israeli Me 109s have always seemed rather incongruous  but then again they used a number of aircraft (this is an interesting site too) http://www.spyflight.co.uk/iafvraf.htm
