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.
This is a new model of the GM Martlet Mk. II (Fixed wing) for CFS 2.
The Martlet II was the first Martlet actually ordered by the British Purchasing Commission for the FAA. The contract was for 100 F4F-4A equivalent aircraft with folding wings and 3 guns per wing with 240 rounds per gun. The first ten Mk. IIs were delivered to F4F-3 standards with fixed wings and 4 wing guns. This model depicts those first 10 aircraft. They were powered with a Pratt and Whitney R-1830-76 Twin Wasp, which had a two stage two-speed supercharger. The wings were fixed, with 4 wing guns and 430 rounds per gun. They spent most of their service with 802 squadron, & most were lost when the world's first CVE, HMS Audacity, was sunk by U-751 off Portugal, 20th December 1941.
The textures supplied follow their history with 802 squadron Fleet Air Arm:
"Q" AM963 Sub Lt. Jimmy Sleigh scored the first carrier-based kill for the Martlet, downing a Heinkel He111 whilst on detachment to HMS Victorious, in the Barents Sea, Norway, 13th September 1941
"R" AM958 An impression of the aircraft flown by Eric "Winkle" Brown, operating off the deck of the world's first escort carrier, HMS Audacity. He would score 2 Fw200C Condor kills during their short-lived deployment on the Gibraltar convoy run, September-December 1942.
