Sleek, versatile, and lethal, the Messerschmitt BF 109 (or Me-109) was the Nazi Luftwaffe's deadliest fighter and one of World War II's most influential aircraft. This revolutionary Air Warrior was part of Hitler's early initiative to rebuild the military and establish a brand-new air force. Introduced at the Berlin Olympic Games and tested during the Spanish Civil War, the 109 went on to dominate the skies over Europe feared by Allied bombers and fighters alike. 109s fought Spitfires in the Battle of Britain and alongside Rommel in North Africa becoming a symbol of an evil empire and changing aerial combat for decades to come.
