As part of the project to rebuild the navy,
German Kriegsmarine started construction of their first aircraft
carrier, the Graf Zeppelin. Air group for the new ship was to
include Messerschmitt Bf 109T fighters and Junkers Ju-87T dive bombers.
Bf 109T was a
modified Bf 109E-3 variant with added tail hook, catapult fittings,
strengthened fuselage, folding wings and wingspan increased to 11.08m.
Landing gear was also wider than the standard Bf 109s.
Fieseler was
order to produce 70 Bf 109T-1s with DB-601N engine, but after only seven
of the planes were built, Graf Zeppelin project was cancelled.
Remaining 63 planes from the order were completed as T-2 variant without
carrier equipment. All produced Bf 109T planes were assigned to
I/JG.77 and deployed to Norway where they short take-off and landing
ability would be a perfect match for the short airfields subjected to
frequent crosswinds.
