Bf 109E – Historical Background

The Messerschmitt Bf 109E is one of the most recognizable German fighter aircraft of World War II. The E-1 and E-3 variants were widely used by the Luftwaffe during the Polish campaign (1939), the Battle of France (1940), and the famous Battle of Britain (summer–autumn 1940). Aircraft from this series were also exported and used by countries such as Switzerland and Romania. Their peak usage occurred between 1939 and 1941. The canopies of the Bf 109E were among the most challenging to paint precisely due to numerous divisions and the characteristic shape of the plexiglass.
