• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Messerschmitt Bf 109E-1 by Design Team Daedalus

Unit: 2./JG21 "Black 11," Unit unknown
Pilot: Unknown

To improve on the performance afforded by the 690 hp Jumo 210 of the earlier Bf 109 versions, the larger, longer 1080 hp Daimler-Benz DB 601A engine was used. As a consequence, the nose, cooling system, and wings had to be redesigned resulting in the classic Bf 109 series. In late 1938, the Bf 109E entered production. It entered general service with the Luftwaffe in the spring of 1939. A total of 1,183 E-1 were built, 110 of them were E-1/B fighter bomber versions.

There were many small differences between individual E-1s because the E-1 was often modified in the field by groundcrew and rear area repair depots. The production standard was lightly armed with two 7.92mm MG17s above the engine and two in the wings and had no pilot armor. Mods included types of pilot head armor,E-4 type squared canopies, E-7 type pointed spinners, etc., but changing the wing MG17 armament required new different wings.

So each model we have created has its own unique features. This aircraft sports the oldest camouflage scheme used on the E-1.

By the time the later Bf 109E-4 and Bf 109E-7 marks were equipping the Jagdgeschwaders a program was initiated to withdraw and remanufacture the surviving E-1s to either full E-4 or E-7 standard.

Pstrany is the primary model author with some small model refinement and additions by Captain Kurt as the model was collaborated on during development. Captain Kurt created the textures for each, the 2D instrument panel, the individual .dp files, air files and aircraft.cfg files.
