kurfurst..

But to summerize, there`s absolutely no evidence of plywood droptanks ever being used operationally on Bf 109Es in the Battle of Britain to our very best knowledge. It`s probably a myth originating from some older, poorly researched (for tech details) BoB books.


> I never said it was used buddy. That's a "strawman argument" I have been looking for this elusive plywood drop tank is all. I know it was never used because it apparently leaked badly..

Kurf> Stalkervision had asked this quiestion over Ubi board. Appearantly, he did not like the answer for he certainly does not quote what he learned there.

> That is because I haven't learned anything I didn't already know already Kurf. I am looking for the actual real answer to the question. I want to know where this idea really came from. Why quote old info quoted from other sources I have seen 1000 times before..

I am looking for some NEW info buddy. Someone did manage to find a picture of an ACTUAL GERMAN PLYWOOD DROP TANK. All of you said it was a figment of different aviation authors imaginations but apparently that figment actually exists...

That kind of puts a crimp into your belief that there was no such thing made by the german's..

oh one last thing..

Kurf..

The pictures of plywood droptanks stalkervision is showing are way too big to fit on the 109,

> That is really hard to say. I have seen quite large and long bombs slung under the 109e's center line rack..


kurf.. they are actually experimental droptanks for the Me 262 that were not used in service.


That is a speculation based from some japanese contributor based on some test of an experimental 262 test. One can not say this is the same drop tank as that one test whatsoever because it doesn't have me-262 drop tank written on it does it?
