Messerschmitt Bf 109G | | 5" | | 5.5" |
This German fighter was piloted by Hauptmann Franz Wienhusen during the defense of the Reich toward the end of World War II. Wienhusen scored a total of twelve aerial combat victories and was killed while piloting this plane in November 1944. Designed to meet a Luftwaffe need for a single-seat fighter/interceptor, the Messerschmitt Bf 109 was first flown on May 28th, 1935. Its all-metal construction, closed canopy and retractable gear made the Bf 109 one of the first true modern fighters of WWII. This versatile aircraft served in many roles and was the most produced aircraft of the war and the backbone of the Luftwaffe, and was flown by Germany's top three aces, who claimed a total of 928 victories between them. Armed with two cannons and two machine guns, the Bf 109's design underwent constant revisions, which allowed it to remain competitive until the end of the war. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
