Designed by Willy Messerschmitt during 1934, and originally
powered by a Rolls-Royce Kestrel V engine, the Bf 109 , which was
the planes real name, won a fighter competition in October
1935.
During the process of progressive development in the pre-war
years the aircraft appeared in successively more powerful and
heavier armed versions; and the Me109B and C models achieved great
success in Spain with the Legion Condor's fighter unit.
Many of the Luftwaffe's most successful wartime fighter pilots
received their operational blooding in Spain on the early 109
models. By August 1940 twenty-three Gruppen were in action on the
Channel front mainly equipped with the improved Me109E-3 and was
fitted with the radial new Focke-Wulf Fw 190 engine and was also
mounted with two machine guns in the nose, and two in the
wings.
Almost 34,000 Planes were produced in total until the end of
World War II
