Description
From the World War II gallery of Boeing's "The Museum of Flight", this display of a classic German Messerschmidtt Bf 109E-3 sits right across the aisle from a British Spitfire Mk V...both bitter, dueling opponents during the Battle of Britain.

Love the color here, hard to believe it was such a fierce warplane. I'm beginning to see the beauty in these machines!!

It looks so tiny but also beautiful. Excellent shot :)

Quite a stunning colour! A very complex composition, I may do a digidoodle!

Hello there Bill! Well... lets see now... Without looking at the link, we have a J on the badge on the fuselage.. That's the symbol for Jg52 (Richthofen)... Obviously one the most famous German Fighter Squadrons of them all.... This is a fine shot , well preserved, but not to sure about the boarding under it.. I assume its under the Spit as well... Lovely to look at! (I have a surprise from Waddington related to this plane ..to post very soon) Rob

Superb work Bill the colours are great, and I love the way you composed the shot with the lit area at the back, and the quality of the lighting

This looks lovely with its great bright nose, though I guess that isn't really its nose, You would certainly see it coming. Excellent capture.

Fly me to the moon, let me sing among those stars LOL sorry first thing that came to mind when I saw this, I doubt it could get that high up though, but a fantastic plane and photo..

"Wir gingen auf England". (or something like that) My German is a bit rusty (40 years ago). But the fact remains it's a great shot!

I'm really impressed at the quality of this shot. That room was so dark ... I got a lot of blur. Fantastic image!

Came from Andrea's image. I can see that this image was perfect for her to work with. Lovely colors and POV. That bright yellow looks beautiful against the dark background. Of course, I love what Andrea did with it too.

WoW! This is amazing Bill. Excellent reading and additional images too. This is my favourite version of the 109 so a real treat :)

This is nice...well...you do these aeronautical shots incredibly well...well...you do a LOT of images incredibly well, but I can tell you love things that fly and have spinny-things on their noses. What I really like about this shot is the grace you captured. As a kid I always thought propeller driven planes were clunky and primitive and well...ugly...I much preferred jets for their swept back wings, and rather wasp-like appearance. But when I see these, I am glad I grew up and can now see the real engineering that goes into these beauties...okay, they're not as sleek and sexy as "colonial vipers" from Battlestar Galactica</> but they're wonderful works of functional art, and you capture them perfectly. I love the colors and the light and the whole vibe of this piece. It's not museum like at all...and well...I think you and Corey and Mark and I should make a trip to the Museum of Science and Industry...I wanna see you in action, and well...Corey is my walking Duct Tape detector so I wanna know if there is duct tape anywhere on planes like these! At any rate this is a wonderful image and I'm glad I saw Andrea's digidoodle, because I missed it originally, which is a HUGE error or my part. Oh well...I saw it now and that's what matters.

Way cool POV of this 109. It wasn't on display when I visited in the early 90s.
