Post subject: [Germany 1939] BF 109E1
|
 |
|
The Messerschmitt BF 109 was destined to become one of history's greatest fighter aircraft. Although figures vary, it is generally accepted that over 30,000 of all variants were produced until 1945 (BF stands for Bayerische Flugzeugwerke, the company's name before Willi Messerschmitt took over). It first flew in 1935, some months before the Spitfire and it was first tried in combat in the Spanish civil war with impressive success. The Bf109E "Emil" with which the Germans entered the Second World War was far superior to all its opponents except the Spitfire.
The BF109E1's main advantage is speed. Try to stay at its best altitude where it's one class above most enemy fighters in 1939.
