"You will not find any books out there with this high level of detail supported by superb artwork at such an affordable price. I highly recommend this book to any Luftwaffe historians, Bf 109 enthusiasts, or anyone wanting to learn more about early Luftwaffe fighter capabilities, design, and employment in the first year of the war." --Todd Shughart, Aviation News Magazine "The swooping illustrations of individual actions add drama, being accompanied by a step by step explanation of the action. All this makes for a fascinating and original look at a well-documented subject material" --Gary Hatcher, Scale Aircraft Modelling, "You will not find any books out there with this high level of detail supported by superb artwork at such an affordable price.

Chapter 1 In Battle Two case studies of aerial combat in the opening phases of World War II, these being the initial actions over Poland and the start of the Battle of France Chapter 2 Setting the Scene Design, development, production, early actions, the Polish campaign explained leading to detailed analysis of the Bf 109E's participation in the Battle of France against French and British aerial opposition Chapter 3 Path to Combat Charting the careers of two Luftwaffe pilots who flew the Bf 109E in combat during the opening phases of World War 2, including Johannes 'Hannes' Trautloft who the author has studied in depth Chapter 4 Weapon of war A brief technical appraisal of the Bf 109E-1 and E-3, detailing their development and the weaponry they employed Chapter 5 Art of War Tactics for Bf 109E units at the start of World War II were in their infancy, and drew on combat experience during the Spanish Civil War and the actions of the Legion Condor . This chapter will look for example at the employment of the revolutionary 'finger four' combat formation, and how it revolutionised fighter combat to the point where all other air arms eventually adopted it as a standard offensive formation. The 'Split S' manoeuvre and the evolution of the Rotte and Schwarm tactical formations will also be explained. Chapter 6 Combat In this chapter, Bf 109E pilots explain what it was like fly the 'Emil' in combat against the widely differing opposition that was encountered in the opening months of World War 2, from such obsolete, but highly agile, types as the Polish PZL P.11 to the French Morane-Saulnier MS.406 and British Hawker Hurricane fighters that had comparable performance to the 'Emil'.

Synopsis
Arguably one of the finest piston-engined fighters ever built, the Bf 109 was a potent aeroplane from the start of its development in the 1930s. Central to the many victories the Germans achieved in the first nine months of World War II, before it encountered the unbeatable Royal Air Force during the Battle of Britain, the Bf 109E was a match for anything in the skies over Poland, the Low Countries and France. Through first-hand accounts from the fighter pilots in combat, specially commissioned ribbon diagrams, full-colour artwork and more than 50 carefully selected photographs, aviation expert Malcolm V. Lowe examines what it was like to fly the Bf 109D/E against a multitude of Allied fighter types during the early campaigns of World War II. Tactical ribbon diagrams, Battlescene artwork, Armament views, Fully illustrated throughout Book jacket., Using first-hand accounts and brand-new artwork, this book brings to life the realities of flying the Bf 109 in combat during the very first battles of World War II. The Bf 109 was one of the principal fighter aircraft types in the Luftwaffe's inventory during the opening months of World War II and it was central to many of Germany's early victories, before coming up against the unbeatable RAF during the Battle of Britain. This book presents first-hand experiences of the pilots who flew the Bf 109E, the aircraft which first featured a Daimler-Benz DB 601 powerplant, and which was in the front line in the skies over Poland, the Low Countries and France, and the older Bf 109D, still in use in the Polish campaign. The early variants of the Messerschmitt fighter, the Bf 109E-1, Bf 109E-2 and Bf 109E-3, swept all before them during the opening wartime campaigns, their successes only fading at the Battle of France, when the Bf 109's seasoned pilots encountered modern and well-flown RAF and Armée de l'Air fighters. In a rigorous and engaging new analysis, Luftwaffe aviation expert Malcolm V. Lowe examines and assesses the Bf 109 as a fighting machine from the perspective of the Luftwaffe at the forefront of the German blitzkrieg. Contemporary photographs and specially commissioned artwork, including a dramatic battlescene, armament views, technical diagrams and ribbon diagrams illustrating step-by-step each battle tactic of the main dogfights explored in the book, bring the experiences of the Bf 109 pilots vividly to life., Using first-hand accounts and brand-new artwork, this book brings to life the realities of flying the Bf 109 in combat during the very first battles of World War II.
