The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was probably the best all-around air force fighter ever built, anywhere. Conceived in 1934, it immediately became the standard Luftwaffe single-seat fighter for nearly a decade. More Bf 109s were built than any other type of airplane-33,000 altogether-and they accounted for more enemy victories than any other airplane in aviation history. Most of the nearly 300 photographs in this book were found in the files of the Bundesarchiv in Berlin and show the Bf 109 in action in all theaters of operation. The full-color camouflage and markings paintings were created especially for this book by one of the most respected and talented aviation artists, Uwe Fiest, in the world today. Invaluable to historians and modelers.
