In the main, Bf 109 JABO UNITS IN THE WEST relates the history of the use of the Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter as a Jagdbomber (fighter-bomber) from 1940 (during the Battle of Britain in which it was used as a 'nuisance raider') to its later deployment during 1941-42 in low altitude hit and run raids against British coastal shipping and military targets in Southeast England.
By July 1942, the Bf 109 would be replaced as a fighter-bomber by the Focke Wulf FW 190, which was more ideally suited for the role, owing to its speed and ability to take enormous punishment and still bring its pilot home.
Like all books in the Osprey Series, this book is rich in illustrations and photos highlighting the Bf 109 in its role as a fighter-bomber in Western Europe between 1940 and 1942.
