The Bf-109 Cockpit  

By any standard, the Bf-109 cockpit was small and cramped. The low canopy provided little headroom and scanning the skies could be something of a chore. Visibility was also a concern for 109 pilots.  The rear quarter view was partially obscured by the armor plating and firewall behind the pilot. All ground visibility was further hindered by the supports between the many window panes that made up the canopy.
