The Messerschmitt Bf109 was one of the most significant fighter aircraft used by the German Luftwaffe during World War II. Designed by Professor Willy Messerschmitt, its prototype first flew in 1935 and entered service in 1937 after outperforming rival designs. It saw early combat in the Spanish Civil War and during the invasion of Poland.
The aircraft underwent several major upgrades throughout the war. The Bf109 E, introduced in 1938, featured a more powerful Daimler Benz DB601 engine and improved cooling systems, making it a key player in the Battle of Britain. In 1940, the Bf109 F brought aerodynamic refinements and increased range, while the later Bf109 G series, starting in 1942, introduced the DB605 engine for greater power and easier production.
Variants like the G-5 and G-6 were heavily produced, with over 12,000 units built. These models included upgraded armament and pressurised cockpits for high-altitude performance. The Bf109 G was highly adaptable, capable of carrying extra fuel, bombs, rockets, and operating in harsh environments like North Africa.
The aircraft served across multiple theatres and was flown by many Luftwaffe units. It became especially famous through pilots like Erich Hartmann, the highest-scoring fighter ace in history, who claimed 352 aerial victories flying the Bf109.
