Additional Information
In 1934, a competition was announced for the best fighter in three categories. , In the class of high-speed aircraft of metal construction won the plane of the talented aircraft designer Willy Messerschmitt Bf-109V1 (factory , № 758, registration –and D-IABI), made its first flight in September 1935. and ahead of its competitors , Arado Ar 80, Focke-wolf Fw 159 and Heinkel He-112. The Ministry of aviation ordered 10 pre-production aircraft. Baptism of fire aircraft received during the Spanish civil war as part of the German Legion "Condor" (modification Bf-109 B "Bruno" C "Caesar" and D "Dora"), where they suffered significant losses (especially the first modification) from the Republican And-15 and-16 Soviet production.
the First truly mass modification was the Bf-109 E "Emil", entered service with the Luftwaffe in January 1939, which differed from its predecessors in a different location of the radiator and more powerful weapons (in the main modifications of the E-3,4,6,7,8 – two 20mm mg FF guns in the wings and two synchronous 7.92 mm mg 17 machine gun in the fuselage). Bf-109E-7, could also carry an outboard fuel tank or a 50-250 kg bomb.
Luftwaffe and Messers received their First slap in the face during the Polish company. 1.09.1939 g. in attack on Poland , participated 2093 from 4093 combat aircraft the first lines.
All Polish aircraft consisted of 463 aircraft, of which only 45 bombers PZL-37 “Elk” corresponded to the technical level of the time. From 1 to 30 September, the Germans lost 521 aircraft (including 67 of the 200 Bf-109), i.e. more than the entire Polish aircraft (a large number of Polish aircraft flew to Romania, Hungary, the USSR and other countries, many Polish pilots reached England and as part of the RAF fought the whole Polish squadron).
During the attack on France, Belgium and Holland from may 10 to June 30, 1940, the Germans lost 2,073 aircraft (including 376 IU-109). And despite the fact that the French aircraft mostly resembled a motley collection of Museum rarities. Of the 3284 combat aircraft could be used only 1558. However the French fighter MS-406 fighting with the Me-109 won with more than double margin, and D-520 (for 10.05.1940 G. there were only 36) is almost “dry”.
the Myth of the invincibility of the Luftwaffe was finally dispelled during the “Battle of Britain”, when from 10.07 to 31.10.1940 the Germans lost 1733 aircraft (of which 845 fighters, including 610 Bf-109E) and were forced to give up the sky to the English “Hurricane” (shot down more than half of the Germans) and “Spitfires”.
the Last major operation, which was attended by Bf-109E (450 aircraft of this modification) was an attack on the USSR. But by the beginning of 1942, they almost disappeared from the Eastern front, and later– from the Luftwaffe. Replaced came Bf-109 F “Frank.” In total, more than 31000 Bf-109 various modifications were made and this aircraft became one of the most popular, second only to the Soviet Il-2.
the Last time the " hundred and severed” (Czechoslovak production under the designation Avia C-199) took part in the battle during the Arab-Israeli war, flying in formation with former opponents –"Spitfires”.
