The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was without doubts one of the most important airplanes in the history of aviation and since the beginning its history was linked to Spain. Only a few months since the maiden flight, three prototypes were sent to Spain to be tested during the Spanish Civil War and shortly after Spain bought E and F series.

When Spain acquired the manufacturing under license of the Bf 109 G-2 began the history of the Messerschmitt Bf 109s made in Spain, which gave rise to two aircraft such as the HA-1109 and the HA-1112, with several subtypes. These aircraft manufactured in Spain enlarged the Bf 109 life about 20 years since the end of World War 2 because continued in active service until 1965 coexisting with the 2nd and the 3rd generation jet.

Fortunately even today some of the HA-1112s fly majestic as worthy descendants of the great aircraft that was and always will be the Messerschmitt Bf 109. In this text we will remember the amazing history of these made in Spain aircraft.

Eduardo Manuel Gil Martínez has been interested in history for many years, particularly the Second World War. Determined to write about the little known stories, he is the author of several books including 'Breslau 1945: El último bastión del Reich', 'Fuerzas acorazadas húngaras 1939-45', 'The Spanish in the SS and Wehrmacht.1944-45', 'The Bulgarian Air Force in World War II', 'Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana 1943-45' and 'Romanian Armored Forces in World War II'.

"But most modelers doubtlessly buy Kagero titles for pretty pictures – not for proper prose. And this one doesn’t disappoint. It’s certainly a colorful project reference!" ~Cybermodeler

"If you are a real fan of the 'Buchon', then you may well want to consider this one." ~ModelingMadness.Com

‘’Another very good addition to the Monograph series from Kagero…’’ ~Military Model Scene

‘’This is a very useful book for those who want to learn more about this interesting and popular aircraft.’’ ~The Catalina News

"…it is a nice choice for these modelers who plan to build unusual Spanish aircraft. There are not that many plastic kits on the market, and reference book count is even smaller." ~DetailScaleReview
