This is a two-part Monogram Close-up set, part one is concerned with the early production models of the Gustav Messerschmitt 109G up to the most ubiquitous models while part two concludes the essay, covering the lesser known photo-reconnaissance series to the final interceptors. Students of German aviation will be familiar with our preference for noting Messerschmitt 109G as the Bf 109G since the "Bf" denoting Bayerische Flugzeugwerke AG appears more frequently in official German records than the "Me" designation. Numerous B & W and color photographs. Previous owner was John Molinari, R. O. (A.I.) 8th, R.A.F. & 9th Air Force. Invaluable to Aviation historians and modelers. LOC SM-11
