Historical information and combat use of Bf 109E-1 “Legion Condor”

The Messerschmitt Bf 109E-1 was one of the first variants of this legendary design, widely used by German forces in the years 1939-1940. These aircraft primarily served during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) as part of the “Legion Condor” units – a German contingent sent to aid General Franco’s Nationalists. The Bf 109E-1 became a key tool in gaining air superiority over its opponents and allowed the Luftwaffe to test new aerial combat techniques, which were later used during World War II. The aircraft was also widely used on the Western Front and during the famous Battle of Britain.
