Messerschmitt Bf 109 (7/16)

The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was a German fighter plane that was one of the most important aircraft in the Nazi’s air force. When the Bf 109 was first introduced in 1937, it was one of the most advanced fighter planes of its time. It featured a closed canopy, a metal monocoque construction and a retractable landing gear. The plane was powered by a liquid cooled V-12 engine. The Bf 109 was designed to be an intercepter, but later models were repurposed to serve various roles such as bomber escort, night bomber and reconnaissance plane.
