Hello to all :D; more................

Bf-109 C (despite what was said in the source).

Successor with stronger weaponry and more powerful engine. Therefore, with additional advantages over fighters on the opposite side. Maximum power at 4,500 m altitude. Only a small delivery. 6 • 46 to 6 • 50 = 5 planes.

Hello to all :D; more................

The Bf-109 D in Spain.

With a maximum altitude of 3,300 m, the Jumo 210 D, which equipped the Bf-109 D version, fully complied with the Spanish requirements; in these heights, predominated the bomber flights and aerial battles. Delivery from 6 • 51 to 6 • 86 = 36 aircrafts.

It appears that I forgot to post two more of my Army & Navy Legion of Valor reunion badges. I am still seeking to add more to my collection. If anyone has any for trade, or sale, please let me know.
