About Graf Zeppelin's Eagles: An Operational History Of

The history of the Bf 109 T forms a small but important part of the most famous Messerschmitt design. Seventy aircraft were built in 1941 as the planned fighter complement of the German aircraft carrier “Graf Zeppelin.” When the aircraft carrier was cancelled, all the Bf 109 Ts were handed over to the Luftwaffe which put them into service in Norway. However, there were renewed plans to complete the “Graf Zeppelin” and the the Bf 109 Ts were withdrawn from Norway and converted back to the carrier version. The final cancellation of the “Graf Zeppelin” at the beginning of 1943 saw the aircraft issued to Jagdstaffel Helgoland and given a new lease of life. At the end of the year the unit moved back to southern Norway. In mid 1944 the Bf 109 T was finally withdrawn from front-line service and the remaining aircraft were transferred throughout Germany to various Luftwaffe training units. This book extensively details the history and use of the Bf 109 T, and includes accounts not only by the Luftwaffe pilots who flew them. but also their opponents from the British RAF and the US Army Air Force. Also a detailed list is included of all known losses.
