About the Messerschmitt Bf109 E-3
Without a doubt, the Messerschmitt Bf109 can be claimed as the most
famous and successful German aircraft from the WW2. It was the worlds
most advanced fighter at the time of its debut in 1936, and remained as
the standard fighter for the Luftwaffe throughout the conflict.
Created by the brilliant designer Willi Messerschmitt, it had the
smallest possible airframe built around the most powerful engine
available. It also boasted many of the then innovative features such as an all metal stressed skin construction, retractable main
landing gear, automatic Handley-Page leading edge slats, etc. The Bf109
saw first combat during the Spanish Civil War and fully demonstrated its
exceptional maneuverability, inherited from its precedent Bf108 Taifun
(Typhoon) multi-purpose sports plane. The Bf109 underwent numerous
improvement throughout its career, and mass production of the E variant started late in 1939.
Within one year, about 2,000 E aircraft were rolled out. Its excellent
performance greatly contributed in the active service of German pilots
at the Western Front and during the Battle of Britain. The E-3 version
used an improved Daimler-Benz DB601Aa engine capable of 1,100 h.p.
output. This engine had provision for mounting a 20 mm MG FF cannon on
the crankcase and firing through the propeller hub. The Messerschmitt
Bf109E was one of the best fighters of the early WW2 period, on a par with the British Spitfire.
