HISTORY OF THE BF109 FIGHTER: REALLY MODERN FOR THE AGE
The German WWII Messerschmitt Bf109 fighter plane was designed at the beginning of the 1930s by the Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (BF). It became the most produced airplane with almost 34,000 units – none has exceeded that amount – and one of the first really modern of its times due to its fully metallic monocoque, its closed cockpit and retractable landing gear.

As a curious historical fact, it participated in the Spanish Civil War to test its elements and characteristics, but logically it was during WWII when it was a fundamental part of the Luftwaffe. It was present until the development of the first jet aircraft, towards the end of WWII.
