All Bf 109's were equipped with wing leading edge slats. The slats automatically extended
from the wing at high angles of attack.
They also improved low speed handling and
landing.
Did you know...
The Russians bought five Bf 109's for test
and evaluation. The Lavochkin design bureau
copied the slats for their LaGG 3 and La 5
fighters.

HIER NICHT SCHIEBEN!
Translation "Don't Push Here"
As the Bf 109's left the factory, they had different maintenance stencils on the airframe. Stencils on the leading edge slats, warning the ground crews not to push
against it.
Time in the field many of those stencils disappeared due to dirty hands, cleaning of the airframe, dirt, oil, grime and weather.
LEADING EDGE SLATS:
The slats automatically extend from the wing, at high angle of attack, and also improve low speed handling and air flow over the wing...

What this worker is doing, is adjusting the
automatic leading edge slots.
