Buchón

There is surely unanimity in accepting the claim that one of the mythical aircraft in the history of world combat aviation is the German fighter Messerschmitt Bf 109. Piloted by some of the best aviators, the shooting down of hundreds of enemies was noted in his record. on different fronts during the second world conflict. But when it ended, the glorious history of the apparatus did not end, which followed a good handful of more years in service in the Spanish Air Force with various variants. This book tells the exciting story of the Spanish Messerschmitt, emphasizing the most genuinely national model, the "Buchón". We will assist in these pages to the process of conception, development and commissioning of an airplane that required almost artisanal work in terms of engineering, weapons and manufacturing techniques to enter combat first, more than twenty years after its conception, in the territories of Ifni and the Sahara and to later become a true movie star. An exceptional graphic accompaniment completes this high-level work on the last member of a mythical saga. That it is not missing in any aeronautical library.
