I agree, Ken. However, I know the models of
the ME109went at least to the "G" model. So, we may have just not seen the
model that did have it - if the article was correct. It did not mention
the ME109 specifically, but figured it must be the model as the FW190 was a
radial.

Hi Ed,
I have also read this many times but have never seen a boundary layer bleed
on a BF-109. I have considered method this for my RV-4 and looked at
many pictures of the 109. Attached is a picture of an 'F' model.
