Details:
When the Messerschmitt Bf109 first flew in 1936 it was, in many ways, the most advanced fighter aircraft in the world. The design was continually improved and the first E-models came into service at the start of WWII. The E-4/7 featured a number of improvements developed from combat experience, including a revised cockpit canopy, and the capability to carry a 300L fuel tank under the fuselage. The aircraft was also used in the North Africa campaign and continued in use until replaced by the Bf109F and Fw190 from 1942 onwards.
