Randy's Warbird Profiles: Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-3 Werknummer 1342

Randy Malmstrom profiles Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-3 Werknummer 1342, a rare surviving Emil with a remarkable wartime and postwar history. Flown by Feldwebel Eduard Hemmerling during the Battle of Britain, the aircraft was recovered from a French beach decades later before being rebuilt and returned to flight in 2008. Now preserved at the Flying Heritage and Combat Armor Museum, the Bf 109 offers a detailed look at the fighter's history, restoration, cockpit, engine, landing gear, and armament.
