Graf Zeppelin’s Eagles: An Operational History of the Messerschmitt Bf 109T

Description: Graf Zeppelin’s Eagles: An Operational History of the Messerschmitt Bf 109 T - Francis L. Marshall - Chandos Publications Limited It gives me great pleasure to announce that this fantastic book in my publishing company's 'Luftwaffe Library' series is now available to buy direct from me! Here's the item description The history of the Bf 109 T forms a small but important part of the most famous Messerschmitt design. Seventy were built in 1941, initially as the planned fighter complement of the Graf Zeppelin. As the aircraft carrier was cancelled, the Bf 109 Ts were handed over to the Luftwaffe which put them into service in Norway. However, renewed plans to complete the Graf Zeppelin saw the Bf 109 Ts withdrawn from Norway and converted back to the carrier version. The final cancellation of the Graf Zeppelin at the beginning of 1943 saw the aircraft issued to Jagdstaffel Helgoland and given a new lease of life. At the end of the year the unit moved back to southern Norway. In mid 1944 the Bf 109 T was finally withdrawn from front-line service and the remaining aircraft transferred to training units. This book extensively details the history and use of the Bf 109 T, and includes accounts not only by the Luftwaffe pilots who flew them but also their opponents from the RAF and the USAAF. Details are included of all known losses. 362pp, 500 photos, maps, scale drawings, 16 full colour profiles including 3-view Book weight 1.6kg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ UK customers UK postage rate £5.00 per book, 2nd class signed Royal Mail EU customers The advantages of buying the book on eBay are outlined below. Since the publication of our last book, things have changed. From 1 July 2021, the Brexit transition period ended and the United Kingdom has left the European Union. From this date forward, EVERYTHING sold to a country outside of the UK counts as an export, and as such could be subject to tax. EU member states require an IOSS (Import One Stop Shop) number on parcels sent from the UK, although this is optional. From 1 July 2021, eBay UK for example has been providing an IOSS number for customers in EU countries once checkout is completed. If you purchase the book on eBay, I will make sure this number is visible on your parcel to tell the customs officials in your country that you have already paid the relevant taxes at point of purchase. The VAT rate for books and printed papers is 0% in the UK, but it may well be different for your country. The good news is that eBay have an entire team dedicated to working out the tax rates for you – these should be visible on your pre-order summary just before you complete checkout, and will be based on 1) the applicable VAT rate for the type of goods you have bought 2) the value of the goods. If you are purchasing a ‘buy it now’ item then the applicable tax should be visible before you complete checkout.This rule covers items worth less than €150 / £135, regardless of whether there is one item or multiple items in the order. For orders worth more than €150 / £135, please see below. Some countries such as Australia (ABN numbers) and some US States have already implemented the collection of taxes at point of purchase, so if you are in these countries you will in many cases be familiar with the collection of tax when buying on eBay UK. If any additional codes are required for your parcels, then I am confident that eBay will provide me with them. I will then in due course make sure they are visible on any paperwork or address labels, to show you have already paid your tax. If your order – whether an individual item or multiple items – is worth more than €150 / £135, then eBay will NOT provide me with an IOSS (Import One Stop Shop) number once you have completed checkout. Currently, such orders will be subject to tax/VAT (if required) only when they enter the destination country, at the discretion of the local tax authority and based on the tax rates for the kind of item(s) you have purchased. *Please note* that the parcel may also be subject to a release charge by the customs agency in your country. This is the system as it stands – in the future, there may become available a service whereby you can pay all charges up front, in which case I will advise you and update my website information. If you still wish to purchase from me now, directly, then please note that the postage rate provided is for one book. If you wish to make multiple purchases then please let me know. USA / Rest of the World customers As long as you are happy to buy directly from me, then please go ahead and place your order. Postage rates should be available in the postage menu. If you wish to purchase more than one book, then please contact me first. Any taxes due should be visible at checkout just before you make payment -------------------------------------------------- Returns: If you are unhappy with an item, or believe it was incorrectly described then please contact me first through eBay rather than opening dispute claims. I try my best to describe items accurately, and resolve any issues in a timely manner. Please refer to my 100% positive feedback record over the last 20 years. YOU HAVE 30 DAYS from date of payment in which to return an item and claim a refund. This is the time allocated to you as a customer by law, and conversant with eBay's returns policy. You can not claim a refund after this time. Lost / Damaged items / Returns: In the unlikely event that your item is lost or damaged, please contact me through eBay's messaging service in the first instance. If you need to return an item for any reason, please let me know. Please note that 'buyer's remorse' is NOT a valid reason for a return
