In the upcoming book Messerschmitt Bf 109 – Origins and Evolution author Lynn Ritger will cover the history of the most produced fighter aircraft in history, and arguably the single most important German aircraft of the Second World War.
In Messerschmitt Bf 109 – Origins and Evolution, historian Lynn Ritger examines in detail the development of the Bf 109 family across its entire lifespan, from the first flight of the Bf 109 V1 to the last operational flight of a Spanish Hispano Ha 1112 M in 1965. Drawing upon original documentation from archival sources, including RLM meeting minutes and planning documents, intelligence reports, production records, factory handbooks, and front-l ine unit reports, Ritger traces the technical history of the Bf 109, illustrating prototype and service variant development, production batch differences, internal and external equipment and ordnance fitment, factory specific equipment and finish details, postwar variants developed in Czechoslovakia and Spain, and unrealised design proposals
The 400 page, hardcover book is currently available for pre-order and is slated for release on January 7.

A 1959 Bonanza K35 Project has been spotted for sale. The listing states (in part):
Please Note: This is an archived post. The information presented here may not be current and the associated listing may no longer be active.
The V-tail airframe has been the recipient of upgrades too numerous to mention, some from the factory, others from the aftermarket by S.T.C., designed to make the airplane faster, fly farther, be quieter and more comfortable, and be safer… Number one on most speed freak lists is the IO-520BB engine installation! The engine installed was rebuilt by Ultimate Engines of Mena, Arkansas, in 2000 with new cylinders, GAMI fuel injectors, and flow-balanced cylinders. Time since major overhaul now is 1,536. Unfortunately, this aircraft suffered damage when the pilot broke ground and folded the gear, then settled back onto the grass runway and landed gear up. Unlike a gear up on asphalt, the belly is not scraped up, but several belly skins are dented and wrinkled. Sold with logbooks for the airframe since day one in 1959 to the present, plus a large amount of supporting paperwork, including S.T.C.s, POH, and flight manual, and the engine logs since the very detailed overhaul, and the prop log.
The aircraft is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota and is currently available for US $16,950, although bids are also being accepted. Click here to check out the eBay listing, which includes many additional details (including damage overview) and photos.
