Messerschmitt BF109 in the West, 1937-1940, Vol. 5

Messerschmitt Bf109 in the West closely examines the Bf109, which was the dominant fighter of the early years of World War II and a revolutionary aircraft in its time. With images drawn largely from private collections, most of them never before published in book form, this volume traces the story of the Bf109 from its origins to its triumph over France and its fate over southern England in late 1940.

This exciting on-going series covers every aspect of the Luftwaffe in World War II and charts the rise and fall of this mighty force. Each volume makes use of over a hundred rare and valuable photographs, many of them taken by Luftwaffe personnel, to bring history to life and record both the men and the aircraft they flew.
