Thanks, Sytse!

Why is the 109E called "Emil"? Because "Erika" just wouldn't do, M8! Cheesy

LOL!

(Why not?

)

Where did 'emil' come from? Was it some sort of codename the allied pilots gave the 109?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_Bf_109

Bf 109A = Anton
Bf 109B = Bruno/Bertha
Bf 109C = Caesar/Clara
Bf 109D = Dora
Bf 109E = Emil
Bf 109F = Friedrich
Bf 109G = Gustav
Bf 109H = Hans
Bf 109J = Spanish produced version of the Bf 109
Bf 109K = Kurfürst/Karl/Koenig
Bf 109T = Trägerflugzeug (carrier aircraft)
Bf 109Z = Zwilling
Bf 109W = Wasserflugzeug

Those codenames given here was the most commonly used by the Luftwaffe, but different names to each model was sometimes given by different squadrons of the Luftwaffe..

Well, you learn something everyday.. Beauty of a pic Harry, the B&W really works well with this, not just that either the lighting sends ones eyes to the right place in the shot. You have full understanding of that and it's good to see.
