Hi Brian,

Thanks for your comment. I did make a mistake, by mixing the cannon and machine gun placements up, which I’ve now corrected. There were two machine guns in the Bf109’s nose and two cannons on its wings. This was the E-4 variant, which was the most common during the BoB.

The Focke-Wulf 190 had a variant that fired through the centre of its propeller, which is perhaps what you’re thinking of. The Fw190 wasn’t seen until 1941 though.

Thanks

Colin

Am sure the 109 did not have 2 cannon in its nose! One that fired from the middle boss.

Great reading, i have lived my life in awe of the Spitfire and the heroics of her pilots. Hence the name of my first son Spitfire Coleman.
