The Messerschmitt
BF-109 was a standard German Luftwaffe single seat fighter for nearly a
decade. It is believed that more than 33,000 of these fighters were
produced between 1936 and the end of World War 2. During the war, the
BF-109 fought on every front in which the Luftwaffe was engaged. The
BF-109 first saw actual combat during the Spanish Civil War where it
proved to be an effective weapon against the Russian Fighters of the
Republic forces. The BF-109 was considered an excellent fighter since it
handled well and possessed excellent low speed control response. The
BF-109's were produced in quantity right up to the end of the war in
1945.
