The BF109E was a German single seat fighter used during the WWII era. The 109E was the first large scale production for the 109. The 1,100 hp Daimler-Benz engines had replaced the older 650 hp Rolls-Royce engines. With a max speed of 400 mph, 38,000ft ceiling and a range of 450 miles, these fighters were a problem early for the British. BF109E was armed with 2 -13 mm machine guns and three 20 mm MG 151 cannons.
Designed by Willy Messerschmitt during Germany's military build-up in the 1930s, the Messerschmitt Bf 109 was first flown on May 28th, 1935. Messerschmitt engineers placed a big 12-cylinder engine in a small airframe, and made that airframe easy to produce and repair. Armed with two cannons and a pair of machine guns, the Bf 109 was the backbone of the Luftwaffe fighter force, shooting down more Allied planes than any other aircraft. The Germans maintained this advantage until the Battle of Britain, where more than 600 Bf-109s were downed by powerful adversaries, most notably RAF Spitfires and the P-51 Mustang.© Copyright 2003-2010 The Flying Mule, Inc.
