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 to meet a Luftwaffe need for a single-seat fighter/interceptor, the Messerschmitt Bf 109 was first flown on May 28th, 1935. Its all-metal construction, closed canopy and retractable gear made the Bf 109 one of the first true modern fighters of WWII. This versatile aircraft served in many roles and was the most produced aircraft of the war and the backbone of the Luftwaffe, and was flown by Germany's top three aces, who claimed a total of 928 victories between them. Armed with two cannons and two machine guns, the Bf 109's design underwent constant revisions, which allowed it to remain competitive until the end of the war. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
