SEA EAGLES - The Operational History of The Messerschmitt Bf 109T, Marshall F.L.


Description: Air Research., 1993. first UK edition, hard bound in dust jacket, FINE/FINE CONDITION, 7 1/4 x 9 1/2, 321 pages, many illustrations, maps , glossary, appendices, index


.----- The story of the Bf 109T forms a vital piece of the jigsaw that represents the history of the Messerschmitt's famous fighter. It is also an interesting story. Starting with tests for the intended role of a carrier borne fighter, a role which it never fulfilled, the type went on to see two operational periods. Its first engagement was in Norway in 1941, but the 'Toni' was still operational three years later in the Deutche Bucht. How this 1941 period sub type was still in the front line in the summer of 1944 is fully described.The text and photographic collection is the result of dedicated work on the part of the author and a great deal of co-operation from wartime aircrew and their families. Besides the accounts of the Luftwaffe pilots who flew the type there are the stories of the RAF Coastal Command and American 8th Air Force crews, thus allowing the account to be presented in a balanced manner.

Due to increasingly higher postal rates, and the many packages that seem to be lost on International Mail, we now only will ship internationally via E-Bay’s Global shipping program, which goes by courier services.

 

Import duties, taxes, and charges are NOT INCLUDED in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding / buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up. Do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts". U.S. and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.

WE HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST THESE NEW RATES WILL ACTUALLY BE, SO PLEASE BE PATIENT. WE ARE EXPERIENCING  2 – 6   WEEKS AS BEFORE DEPENDING ON THE CLASS OF AIR MAIL USED AND IF ITEM IS HELD UP IN CUSTOMS, BUT SOMETIMES FOR LONGER FOR NO KNOWN REASON. 

 

Shipments inside the US are also experiencing massive slowdowns, please be patient. Media Sometimes is taking 1 to 4 weeks with no rhyme or reason as to why.

 

IT WILL TAKE AT LEAST THE TIMES STATED ABOVE.    PLEASE DO NOT START ASKING WHERE IT IS IN A WEEK OR TWO AND ACCUSE ME OF NOT SENDING THE ITEM - SLOW DELIVERY TIMES BY THE POST OFFICE ARE NOT MY FAULT,   PLEASE BE PREPARED TO WAIT THE AVERAGE TIMES I HAVE STATED. 

 

 ( Due to be budget shortfalls and massive job cuts, and projected closing of many distribution centers, that are  being implemented by the US Post Office   - we are already seeing delivery times longer than was seen previously – please be patient )
