History of the BF 109 fighter dates back ta the end of March 1999 when the LM formulated the specifications LA. 1432/33 ta develop a single engine fighter monoplane. The companies that participated in the contest ta meet the specifications were Arado, Heinkel Focke-Wulf and Bayerische Flugeeugwerke. Willy Messerschmitt, who became well known for his success with the design of tourist and courier Bf 108 aircrat, worked as a technical director atthe last, mentioned company Hs gal was to design an airplane with the best possible ower to the total weight ratio and airraftcimensins. At the same time, he focused n the most efficent aerodynamics, In the course of coming months, several prototypes were built and were used for fests end further development. The result was a relatively small aircraft with smooth aerodyramicat lines and prearessive design features, such a5, low-wing concep, retractable landing eer, wing with a thin air automatic slats, landing flaps or weapon fir through the propeller shalt. Four years before the war outoresk. closed canopy ar monocoque fuselage were not cammon ether, S, from the beginning of its design, Messerschmitt’ BF 109, despice the teething troubles with the powerplant, was a promising project and ‘que surprisingly wn the canest beating much better-establshed competitors The power plant problems wore resolved by replacing Jumo 201 engine wih 1B 01 one which together with later deployed 08 605 encine was clesely linked to the wile Messerschmitt BF 109 development and its service, The invertadV twelve-cyinder engine powered several tens of thousands of “one aries” produced in mare than 25 versions and variants. BFTO9E ‘The fst cambatdeptayment of three pre-production Bf 1095 took pace during the Civ War in Spain where they had been shipped in ecember 1736. The _ioraft from the pre-production batch were to preve their bits ine modern 2ir warfare. Large scale production Bf 109 8-1 version was next to fly combat ‘with 2/8 Legion Condor.
