bf 109

http://moarvideo.co.cc/ http://www.911porn.org/The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was a 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 the standard fighter of the Luftwaffe for the duration of WWII, although it began to be partially replaced by the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 from 1942. The Bf 109 scored more aircraft kills in World War Two than any other aircraft. At various times it served as an air superiority fighter, an escort fighter, an interceptor, a ground-attack aircraft and a reconnaissance aircraft. The Bf 109 was produced in greater quantities than any other fighter aircraft in history, with over 31,000 units built. Although the Bf 109 had weaknesses, including a short range of early variants around 400 miles (640 km) on internal fuel as drop tanks were not standardized until the E-7 model appearing in mid-1940, and a sometimes difficult to handle narrow, outward-retracting undercarriage, it stayed competitive with Allied fighter aircraft until the end of the war.The Bf 109 was flown by the three top scoring fighter aces of World War II : Erich Hartmann, the top scoring fighter ace of all time with 352 victories, Gerhard Barkhorn with 301 victories, and Günther Rall with 275 victories. All of them flew with the Jagdgeschwader 52, chiefly on the Eastern front, a unit exclusively flying the Bf 109 models and being credited with over 10 000 victories itself. Hartmann refused to fly any other airplane in combat throughout the war. Hans-Joachim Marseille, "The Star of Africa" also flew the Bf 109, and achieved all of his 158 victories on the Western Front, chiefly against Allied pilots in North Africa, including 17 aircraft shot down in a single day.

wow i never knew that. they say the 190 was the most advanced propeller-driven fighter of the war...

Oh the Ta152 was certainly the more advanced fighter, I was just making the case that it wasn't in the same stage of production as the 109's. I'm not making the claim that the Bf109 is absolutely better than the Fw190's either. I was merely commenting in response to folks who thought the Fw190 made the Bf109's obsolescent, which wasn't the case. The 109 remained competitive throughout the war and built the careers of the highest scoring aces of all time. Technology leapfrogs. Same on both sides.

The ta 152c came into service the same time as the k-4 and i stil believe was supeior. I just believe the fw had the better all round package, wide undercarriage, great visibility, power,armament and speed. The british copied the cockpit lay out and other features when they designed the hawker tempest. The RAF realised early on just how superior the fw was to what they had which moved on the deleopment of the spitfire IX and griffons engined variants, and Hawker with typhoon and tempest.

the 262 wasn't rushed into service, it was ready in 1942 but hitler wanted it used as a fighter bomber, and delayed it by a couple of years.

Right, hence the qualifier "towards the end of the war" in my comment. The Bf 109K-4 was faster than the Fw 190D-9 which which in turn was much faster than the Fw 190A-1, and the K-4 also had prototype models which could reach even higher speeds. The Ta 152H-1 was certainly as fast as you claim but it was in such little numbers that it really couldn't be considered a fully active mass production fighter (hence the second qualifier, "active").

pramboy74 (January 1, 1970 at 12:59 am)

Ok for starters the FW-190 A-1 was capable of over 400 mph in 1941 and was superior than the best 109 models at the time.Secondly are you forgetting the late model 190's? The long nosed ta 152H-1 was capable of 472 mph rated at 40 000 feet.

brainman (January 1, 1970 at 12:59 am)

easily a match for the 190's -fix.

brainman (January 1, 1970 at 12:59 am)

The Bf 109K-4 was actually faster than the Fw 190D-9 (about 450MPH vs 440MPH respectively) towards the end of the conflict and hardly anything prop driven could catch it in a climb. Literally, it left most fighters in the dust. In fact, the K-4 is, or rather should be, on the shortlist of highest performing (active) fighters in WWII overall. In the hands of a skilled pilot, the K-4 was easily a match for the 109's and their opposition as well.

brainman (January 1, 1970 at 12:59 am)

Cool story, bra.Either way that doesn't detract from the spectacular achievement that was acquired with those units. And the point still being that even with technologically inferior aircraft and being outnumbered doesn't it doesn't dictate the outcome of the conflict.

Brainman, the Finnish Brewsters were the prototype B-239 models, not Buffalos. Buffalos were the production model Brewster B-339's, or F2A-2's depending on designation practices, which had increased armour and slightly bigger engines and thereby increased weight, reduced maneuverability with a meager increase in speed.The Finnish Brester B-239's had good maneuverability, were delightful to fly and were never referred to as "flying coffins", even against superior performance Russian planes.
