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 armed 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 built. The Bf-109 played a key role in the Battle of Britain and was flown by German aces during World War II. Although successful, it was notorious for being difficult to control. It was also used for ground attack and reconnaissance missions, and continued to be used after World War II.
