HISTORY ASPECTS:
This distinctive Messerschmitt Bf 109E fighter from
Nachtjagdgeschwader 1 was equipped with a Telefunken designed Peil Gerat
IV electronic radio direction finder unit, one of the first airborne
interception units of its kind to be fitted in a Luftwaffe nightfighter.
More of an onboard direction indicator than an actual interception
radar unit, the Peil G IV featured the installation of a new cockpit
indicator display which required the pilot to keep a needle coated in
luminous paint in the centre of the display and he knew that if he kept
the needle in this central location, his aircraft was heading for the
transmitting aircraft detected. Although still relatively primitive,
this system allowed the pilot to fly his aircraft and effect the
interception, as opposed to being preoccupied with constantly checking
his course, something which greatly helped pilots of single seat
fighters. Although actually not all that effective in operation, the
Peil Gerat IV unit would provide valuable research data for use in
future projects, which would eventually lead to the introduction of much
more capable systems.
In the specialised role of night interceptions, single seat
Luftwaffe fighters were not particularly suitable for the task, as their
lack of range/loitering capability and the sheer workload placed on the
pilot were both significant limiting factors and it didn't take long
before the larger twin engined Messerschmitt Bf 110 and Junkers Ju88
aircraft were assigned to this role.
