The Messerschmitt Bf-109 was a German fighter aircraft designed by Willy Messerschmitt in the mid-1930s. It had a top speed of over 600 km/h, was equipped with two 7.92 mm machine guns and one 20 mm cannon, and was the most produced fighter aircraft in history with over 33,000 units produced. The Bf-109 played a key role in the Battle of Britain and was flown by the German Aces during World War II. Despite its success, it was known for being difficult to operate. It was also used for attacks on ground targets and reconnaissance missions and continued in use after World War II.
