Description

If you don't know anything about the 109 by now, I'd be shocked. Needless the say, the most built and rebuilt variant was the 109G-6 a type that entered service just in time to participate in the Kursk battle in 1943. It was more heavily armed and armored so needed the additional horsepower of the DB 605 engine that it had to pull it through the air. All the additional equipment and weight turned the 109 into a bit of a pig, one that wasn't very good at dogfighting. However, in the hands of a proficient pilot, it would wreak havoc and was still a potent weapon.

Many 109s were exported during the war, most to Axis allies. Probably the biggest user of the type outside the Luftwaffe was the Finnish Air Force. These planes were one of the staple fighters for the last half of the war and served into the early 1950s. Several were saved back and are now in Finnish museums.
