Bf 109, Nazi Germany’s most important fighter aircraft, both in operational importance and in numbers produced. It was commonly referred to as the Me 109 after its designer, Willy Messerschmitt.

Designed by the Bavarian Airplane Company in response to a 1934 Luftwaffe specification for a high-performance single-seat fighter, the Bf 109 was, in essence, the smallest airframe that could be wrapped around the most powerful in-line aero engine available and still carry useful armament. Because Germany’s aviation industry had started from scratch following Adolf Hitler’s recent abrogation of the Treaty of Versailles prohibition on aircraft production, the only engine available in 1934 was a Junkers Jumo of only 210 horsepower (though Daimler-Benz had far-more-powerful engines on the drawing board).
