The Messerschmitt Bf 109 (often referred to as Me 109) was a single-seat German fighter aircraft of the 1930s and 1940s. It belonged to a new generation of low-wing fighter aircraft, which were characterized by a closed cockpit, retractable landing gear and an all-metal construction of the fuselage and wings. In addition to their original purpose, various variants were also used as fighter-bombers, night-fighters and reconnaissance aircraft. With around 33,300 aircraft, the Bf 109 is one of the most-built aircraft and the most-built fighter in history. ----- In analogy to those later designed by Willy Messerschmitt aircraft such as the known Me 262, the type is often referred to as Me 109. After the official naming of the Reich aviation ministry (RLM), however, the historically correct designation was consistently Bf 109, since the design work began in 1934 at the Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (BFW). After renaming the BFW in Messerschmitt AG in 1938, the designation no longer changed, as with the Bf 110. All later developed by Messerschmitt aircraft types (Me 163, Me 210/410, etc.) but received the abbreviation Me in the type designation. The first flight took place in May 1935. The first series machines were incorporated in February 1937 in the "Jagdverbände" of the German Air Force. Despite the early start of construction before the outbreak of the Second World War, the Bf 109 was by constant improvements until 1945 a competitive pattern in use against the Allies. Until the unconditional surrender of the Wehrmacht in 1945, the Bf 109 remained the standard Luftwaffe fighter aircraft, supplemented by the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 from mid-1941 onwards. Airplanes of this type were also used by numerous other air forces, for example in Finland, Yugoslavia, Croatia, Romania , Hungary, Italy and Switzerland. Type: fighter Design Country: German Reich , German Empire Manufacturer: Messerschmitt First flight: May 28, 1935 [1] Built: 1937 Production time: 1936 to 1945 (HA-1112 to 1958) Number of pieces: approx. 33,300 (of which 30,573 from German production) --- In action, the Bf 109 E proved to be a very good fighter over Poland, Norway and France, which was flown by well-trained and partly combat-driven pilots. The disadvantage of the short range fell in the early campaigns of the Wehrmacht still little importance. Only during the Battle of Britain, when the German fighter squadrons met for the first time on a large scale on equal opponents (both in technical, and - with a certain time delay - in terms of tactics), the strengths and weaknesses of the Bf 109 E clearly visible. At medium and high altitudes, the Bf 109 E was faster than the Spitfire and significantly faster than the Hurricane at all altitudes. This height advantage could be used by the German pilots again and again, if they could plunge in accompanying operations from excessive positions on the British bombers attacking British fighters. With an armament of two 20 mm MG FF guns and two 7.92 mm MG 17 machine guns, they also had a greater firepower than the British hunters with their battery of eight 7.7 -mm machine guns - mainly due to the explosive ammunition of the machine guns. Compared to the British hunters Spitfire and Hurricane had the Bf 109 E a larger turning circle. Although it had a higher lift coefficient and a lower weight than the Spitfire, but due to its much smaller wing, it still had a roughly 20% larger turning circle at the same speed. In terms of fall speed, the Bf 109 E surpassed both British patterns. Another advantage of the Bf 109 E was the Daimler-Benz engine with direct fuel injection, which allowed to push hard into a dive without the engine suspended (defensive maneuvers in the air combat tactics). The British aircraft with carburetor engines had to initiate the dive with a time-consuming half-roll and therefore could not follow fast enough. The biggest disadvantage of the Bf 109 E at the time of the "Battle of Britain" was its short range. During escort operations, the German pilots often had only enough gasoline over their targets for ten to a maximum of 20 minutes air combat and often the choice to abandon the bomber or to risk a ditching in the English Channel because of fuel shortage. The development of the E-Series had brought a new, simplified cockpit can with improved armor before the beginning of the air battles over England with the E-4 version, but the urgently needed introduction of an additional tank could not be completed before the end of the Battle of Britain. This succeeded only in the fall of 1940 with the version E-7. - -- With no other aircraft model in the history of the air war more kills were achieved than with the Bf 109. For example, Erich Hartmann recorded 352 confirmed aerial victories, only in different models of the Bf 109th One of the most famous fighter pilots on a Bf 109 E and Bf 109 F in North Africa was Hans-Joachim Marseille, who scored 151 of his 158 total shootings against British Royal Air Force aircraft during the African campaign. Other drivers of the Bf 109, which achieved high firing numbers, were Gerhard Barkhorn with 301 aerial victories, Günther Rall with 275 aerial victories and Hermann Graf with 212 aerial victories. The most well-known pilots of the Bf 109 were Werner Mölders (115 victories) and Adolf Galland (104 victories), who successively held the post of general of fighter pilots. The extraordinarily high shooting numbers achieved with the Bf 109 in World War II are due to a combination of factors. Initially, the Bf 109 was a well-constructed aircraft, which was at the beginning and in the middle phase of its service life to the most powerful fighter aircraft was calculated. Similar to the British Spitfire, the Bf 109's cell was able to accommodate increasingly powerful engines and heavier weapons. This countered the general trend for higher speeds and higher altitudes in the aerial battles, as most aerial victories were achieved not by tight cornering but by surprise attacks from excessive positions. Thus, the Bf 109 was until about the end of 1942 as an aircraft that provided its pilots benefits that could be compared with the patterns of the opposing side or better than these were. In particular, in the first twelve months of the war against the Soviet Union, the German fighter pilots met technically obsolete enemy aircraft, which were used after outdated air combat tactics. This caused the firing numbers of the Luftwaffe to rise sharply. Mfg Magnus

GREAT video good sir!! The BF-109 is definitely one of my favorite aircraft. The Germans knew how to build some great looking aircraft. Keep up the great work. 👍👍👍
What few people know is that the BF109G was not at all inferior to the P-51. The only reason for the performance discrepancy between the two was the fuel used. The Germans only had 90 octane in most cases, whereas the Americans and Brits used 130 octane fuel. Which meant that they could run much higher boost. The 109 was actually a smaller aircraft with a larger engine vs. the P-51. edit: *Also, the 109G was not a fighter but a bomber interceptor so it had heavier armor and armament than a fighter would have needed.*
Americanball _ 'Better' is a relative term. The 109 had a continuously variable supercharger that was amazing from low to medium altitude. The P-51 had a multi-stage supercharger that was usually tuned for medium and high altitude.
@@americanball_2841 The Germans finally fixed that issue with the 109 G-14 and K variants, which were a match for the P-51 at any altitude. They could do 440 MPH at 24,600 feet and 414 MPH at 30,000 feet. Delivery started in late 1944. Of course, the P-51 would have moved on to the H model- however the 109 was also moving on to the K-14 model, which was easily a match for it with a top speed of 470 MPH and a max altitude of 39,000 feet.
Покрышкин, полетав на нём, оценил его полностью объективно, на то он и Покрышкин. Помню, в частности, что ему сразу бросилось в глаза, что BF-109 имеет плохой обзор назад и на высоких скоростях начинает заметно рыскать, что сильно мешает прицеливанию
@@Aleksandr0227 также он чуть не упал на нем, открыв для себя и для других особенность 109 не слушаться руля высоты при наборе большой скорости в пологом пике, чем часто пользовались немецкие пилоты для выхода из боя и отрыва от преследователя. Также очень тесный и обзор конечно, что не мешало асам очень хорошо все видеть :) У каждого самолета были недостатки и преимущества. Но 109 у меня всегда вызвал восторг, что есть - то есть.
@David Kopp Were those children, and civilians living near factories, or Airfields? By the way, what did the Germans do to London, and surrounding communities? Or did you erase that little bit of history.... Think first before activating those fingers of yours, to leave a comment.

@书中自有黄金屋 Yes that is true that hitler did take care of his own people but yet indoctrinated them and went about ethnic cleansing throughout the 30s and throughout ww2.And germany didnt so called 'liberate' countries like poland in europe , he ravaged the populations and slaughtered them for resources and imprisoned them.And yet you somehow defend that Hitler was peaceful and that invading poland didnt lead to ww2 but churchill's own interests. And britain did not go for peace attempts due to the horrific nature of the nazis with their intent for world supremacy of the aryan race.
Zu der Zeit eine absolute Errungenschaft . Ich habe die Bf 109 G-10 als Modell. Eine Maschine zu verlieben. Messerschmitt ein großer Name der heute noch den Himmel erkundet.
My Grandpa work 1944/45 in Kassel-Baunatal/Hessen by Henschel Flugzeugwerke.He work ed on new engine with over 2000Hp.But they had no quality metal anymore.The normal Me109 motors ,no time to test..They soon came in wooden boxes and went to the front.
Great vid, great work of Hangar 10, especially for using the DB605 engine like the 1944 Bf109 G14, which is hard to get in these days . The Gustav14 was the last fighter plane with piston engine flown by Erich Hartmann by the way .
Do you know of any commentary Erich might have made about it in comparison to earlier models? I've read that more than a few of the aces that survived the war actually preferred their 109F's over the mid-G's, mostly due to better roll/turn capability (I could have this wrong though).
WHJeffB - I never read such commentary from Erich Hartmann . He started his fighter plane career in November ´42 . At this time the early Bf 109 `Gustav` where used by the `Luftwaffe` and he got to know only´G`s .
Thanks Hardside65... I must be confusing him with one of the older aces. I distinctly remember reading such commentary, just can't recall exactly who made the comments.
I love fighter jets, they look nice, and have great performance, but nothing will ever live up to the sounds of WWII Rolls-Royce Merlin and the DB-600 series engines.
when you see the technical solutions and production technologies used in the bf-109 and fv-190, it seems that they were not made in the forties, but at the end of the twentieth century.
Somebody: "Can you pop the hood? I gotta see the engine." Pilot: "sure, Its inverted..." ;) (dumb joke I know) Beautiful aircraft. Must be a blast to fly!

A very curious ID swap? Regarding the K4, I believe now there are a couple of projects but I have no ID for them or current status. Some of these projects can be very under the radar.
PaddyPatrone (I like your "ammo" name): Excellent video. One overwhelming problem late in the war was the need for Luftwaffe pilots to continue flying until sick, injured or killed. Fuel endurance: Me-109s supposedly could only fly over southern England for approx. 30 min., until reaching the "bingo fuel" quantity, requiring a direct course back to the home base in northern France, or Any "friendly" base they could reach. Redesign of the fuel system to allow external tanks in existing aircraft must have been impossible, with the demands to keep aircraft operating on the Soviet/Russian front and western battle zones, or simple obstacles caused by the basic fuel system design and extremely tight spaces in the wings etc..
Discovery Channel (US) filmed an RAF Squadron Leader, maybe ten years ago (?), showing his ability in the Spitfire's seat to move his shoulders, turn his head sideways to try and spot "bandits" at his 6 o'clock. It appeared somewhat difficult, but could be done. The guy had a fairly slender physique for his age. Sitting in the museum's ME-109, he had Serious difficulty trying to rotate his shoulders enough to allow any glance rearwards, hence the need for cockpit mirrors. Even 5 o'clock was very difficult.

A lovely plane with a great sound. I loved to see, thank you for sharing.
What few people know is that the BF109G was not at all inferior to the P-51. The only reason for the performance discrepancy between the two was the fuel used. The Germans only had 90 octane in most cases, whereas the Americans and Brits used 130 octane fuel. Which meant that they could run much higher boost. The 109 was actually a smaller aircraft with a larger engine vs. the P-51. edit: *Also, the 109G was not a fighter but a bomber interceptor so it had heavier armor and armament than a fighter would have needed.*
Also the p51 had a better design for the supercharger. They had it tuned for high and low altitude.
Americanball _ 'Better' is a relative term. The 109 had a continuously variable supercharger that was amazing from low to medium altitude. The P-51 had a multi-stage supercharger that was usually tuned for medium and high altitude.
@@alouiciousjackson5812 Along with better fuel it made the bf109 a joke against the p51d's at bomber height.
@@americanball_2841 The Germans finally fixed that issue with the 109 G-14 and K variants, which were a match for the P-51 at any altitude. They could do 440 MPH at 24,600 feet and 414 MPH at 30,000 feet. Delivery started in late 1944. Of course, the P-51 would have moved on to the H model- however the 109 was also moving on to the K-14 model, which was easily a match for it with a top speed of 470 MPH and a max altitude of 39,000 feet.
@@alouiciousjackson5812 But is was too little way too late so it didn't sway much.
It's great to see older variatons of planes in the air with wheels up as they seem to be alive more than sitting on ground
Бесподобный звук!!!! "Худой", конечно, отличный истребитель. Даже Покрышкин, полетав на нём, высказал своё восхищение его возможностям.
Покрышкин, полетав на нём, оценил его полностью объективно, на то он и Покрышкин. Помню, в частности, что ему сразу бросилось в глаза, что BF-109 имеет плохой обзор назад и на высоких скоростях начинает заметно рыскать, что сильно мешает прицеливанию
@@Aleksandr0227 также он чуть не упал на нем, открыв для себя и для других особенность 109 не слушаться руля высоты при наборе большой скорости в пологом пике, чем часто пользовались немецкие пилоты для выхода из боя и отрыва от преследователя. Также очень тесный и обзор конечно, что не мешало асам очень хорошо все видеть :) У каждого самолета были недостатки и преимущества. Но 109 у меня всегда вызвал восторг, что есть - то есть.
Beautiful. Look at that engine! Wow.
¡Maravilloso vídeo, como una sinfonía de varios violines Stradivarius! Muchas gracias por compartirlo.
Fantastico video, saludos desde brazil
Tolles Video, tolles Flugzeug ... hoffentlich zeigen die ihre Messerschmitts auch mal auf Airshows ... weiter im Süden 😊
Those little bastards were hard on our B-17’s and 24’s. Nice to see some flying examples of them still.
@David Kopp Were those children, and civilians living near factories, or Airfields? By the way, what did the Germans do to London, and surrounding communities? Or did you erase that little bit of history.... Think first before activating those fingers of yours, to leave a comment.
@David Kopp fuckers like YOU still exists today! one such got power and went on a rampage at his will, not worrying about his countries own children and civilians and had to be brought down by so many sacrifices [on both sides / human beings] for no reason! ... who got this mad man his powers ? the idiots of his own nation like YOURSELF thinking he's going to do them some good ...
@David Kopp Google September 1, 1939 and learn something.
@书中自有黄金屋 Yes that is true that hitler did take care of his own people but yet indoctrinated them and went about ethnic cleansing throughout the 30s and throughout ww2.And germany didnt so called 'liberate' countries like poland in europe , he ravaged the populations and slaughtered them for resources and imprisoned them.And yet you somehow defend that Hitler was peaceful and that invading poland didnt lead to ww2 but churchill's own interests. And britain did not go for peace attempts due to the horrific nature of the nazis with their intent for world supremacy of the aryan race.
but Germany lost so they are n00bs
Excellent.. beautiful restoration
So nice to see the pilot taking off the way a tail dragged is supposed to be handled. Congratulations!
Zu der Zeit eine absolute Errungenschaft . Ich habe die Bf 109 G-10 als Modell. Eine Maschine zu verlieben. Messerschmitt ein großer Name der heute noch den Himmel erkundet.
My Grandpa work 1944/45 in Kassel-Baunatal/Hessen by Henschel Flugzeugwerke.He work ed on new engine with over 2000Hp.But they had no quality metal anymore.The normal Me109 motors ,no time to test..They soon came in wooden boxes and went to the front.
Awsome work and flying.
i gotta love that sound of that G14 i love it so much
and i gotta say the aggressive startup of the G14 would be the same as the legendary K4 and G10
woah the sound is amazing
Beautiful... ! Excellent footage. Pure badass!
It's just plain a work of art.
Great vid, great work of Hangar 10, especially for using the DB605 engine like the 1944 Bf109 G14, which is hard to get in these days . The Gustav14 was the last fighter plane with piston engine flown by Erich Hartmann by the way .
Do you know of any commentary Erich might have made about it in comparison to earlier models? I've read that more than a few of the aces that survived the war actually preferred their 109F's over the mid-G's, mostly due to better roll/turn capability (I could have this wrong though).
WHJeffB - I never read such commentary from Erich Hartmann . He started his fighter plane career in November ´42 . At this time the early Bf 109 `Gustav` where used by the `Luftwaffe` and he got to know only´G`s .
Thanks Hardside65... I must be confusing him with one of the older aces. I distinctly remember reading such commentary, just can't recall exactly who made the comments.
Beautiful aircraft!
I love fighter jets, they look nice, and have great performance, but nothing will ever live up to the sounds of WWII Rolls-Royce Merlin and the DB-600 series engines.
Great video. The license plate for my MB is MEBF109

Awesome machine.
Damals, als die Luftwaffe noch eine war...
Toll das wenigstens ein paar Exemplare von unseren Flugzeugen überlebt haben.
when you see the technical solutions and production technologies used in the bf-109 and fv-190, it seems that they were not made in the forties, but at the end of the twentieth century.
Being able to fly one of these old birds today is almost like hitting the lottery. What an absolute thrill it must be.
I hope I can buy in future one Messerschmitt Bf-109 :) all my best wishes to all watchers, from Germany, Robert

У него самый хищный вид из всех поршневых истребителей
А по мне МиГ-3 круче выглядит. Стремительный красавец.
@@SanovichSit Возможно, МиГ-3 красивше, но его стихия была на >6000m, но воевать пришлось не с Богом, а с немцами и поэтому МиГ временно отвели в тень в пользу более "низколетающих") Яков, ЛА и Аэрокобр
@@Aleksandr0227 Если посмотрите интервью с Владимиром Барсуком о МиГ-3, а также взять во внимание что Покрышкин писал об этом самолете, но картина вырисовывается другая.
@@SanovichSit лучше просто сказать, что Вы имеете в виду, не отсылая человека "читать труды классиков", дескать тогда, может быть, поумнеет)). Кто такой Барсуков, в конце концов? А то, что МиГ был неудобен из-за своей высотности, есть видос с прямой речью Александра Ивановича Покрышкина, ведь войну он начал именно на МиГ-3
@@Aleksandr0227 Я имею ввиду, что МиГ не такой уж и увалень как о нём принято думать. И в вертикальные маневры он очень хорошо идёт и скорость быстро набирает. Также позволяет делать маневры с "контролируемой перегрузкой". Думаю, что его беда не в характеристиках. а в том что двигатели АМ нужны были для штурмовиков, близости Яковлева к руководству и в необычности для летчиков в основном учившихся на И-16. А В.Барсук - летчик испытатель, который отреставрированный МиГ облётывал и на авиашоу обычно на нём летает. ua-cam.com/video/_wTZjYGyl-4/v-deo.html.
man, that’s COOOOOOL
Над нами «мессеры» кружили, их было видно, словно днем… Но только крепче мы дружили под перекрёстным артогнём.
Кружили в основном фоккеры и ю-78(лаптежники) , истребительная авиация Люфтваффе в большей своей части ,была выведена на западный фронт(к 1943 году так точно!) для противодействия авиации союзников.
Выходит эта строчка из песни лишь для рифмовки слога.
Кружащих над полем боя "мейсеров" было очень сложно увидеть даже опытным пилотам красной армии,не говоря уже про то что бы сбить.А таких ребят какие были в эскадре "мельдерс" к примеру противник мог увидеть лишь тогда когда они этого сами желали.
Beautiful aircraft and in the right hands she was deadly.
Мессершмит-190 G14 был лучшим среди своей серии! 790 км/ч! Высотность!

790? Do you have any sources for that? Genuinely interested
Even though the Curtiss P-40 was outdated by WW 2, it was and still is one of the prettiest planes ever to fly.

Nice to see a Spanish "Buchon" given the original Daimler-Benz motor that never arrived in Spain, which made the Spaniards have to adapt the Bf-109 Gustav to the Merlin powerplant. One also sees in the video a Spanish Rolls Royce-powered version...which accentuates what a nice full-circle job has been done in reverting to a correct powerplant and look...
+Philip Schilling This one wasn't a Buchon but rebuilt from the wreck of Bf-109G-14 WNr. 462707 shot down by B-17 gunners over Hannover on November 11, 1944 and fatal to pilot Karl-Heinz Schirmacher.
+FiveCentsPlease... That's good news... Do you know how much of the original plane was saved to be rebuilt, or is it one of those rebuilds that uses just enough parts (minimum number) to qualify it to wear the original works number?You've mentioned a K4 project that's ongoing. I want to say that you mentioned that this was a restoration (airworthy or not) of an original K4. Is that correct?
@@WHJeffB There is some confusion on the status of the G-14 462707, since it was originally a static reconstruction with only the ID: www.flugzeuginfo.net/images/museums/hangar10/messerschmitt_bf109g-14_luftwaffe_462707_02_hangar1014.jpg But now possibly the same ID was used on a Buchon and airworthy within a year or so. A very curious ID swap? Regarding the K4, I believe now there are a couple of projects but I have no ID for them or current status. Some of these projects can be very under the radar.
@@FiveCentsPlease Thanks FCP!
Memory of hero Eric Hartman!👍💚👍
Erich Hartmann was a legend at WW2.
PaddyPatrone (I like your "ammo" name): Excellent video. One overwhelming problem late in the war was the need for Luftwaffe pilots to continue flying until sick, injured or killed.
Fuel endurance: Me-109s supposedly could only fly over southern England for approx. 30 min., until reaching the "bingo fuel" quantity, requiring a direct course back to the home base in northern France, or Any "friendly" base they could reach.
Redesign of the fuel system to allow external tanks in existing aircraft must have been impossible, with the demands to keep aircraft operating on the Soviet/Russian front and western battle zones, or simple obstacles caused by the basic fuel system design and extremely tight spaces in the wings etc..
Wow how beautiful was that! I loved it.
Ah that supercharger sound
A flying monster
Discovery Channel (US) filmed an RAF Squadron Leader, maybe ten years ago (?), showing his ability in the Spitfire's seat to move his shoulders, turn his head sideways to try and spot "bandits" at his 6 o'clock. It appeared somewhat difficult, but could be done. The guy had a fairly slender physique for his age.
Sitting in the museum's ME-109, he had Serious difficulty trying to rotate his shoulders enough to allow any glance rearwards, hence the need for cockpit mirrors. Even 5 o'clock was very difficult.
Amazing Sound

Lifeisabeach 101 it really wasn't, aerodynamically and structurally speaking it was rather primitive

Don't think they have a DB powered 109 there. Only with merlins.
@@PaddyPatrone There's a DB-powered Bf-109E kept a Biggin Hill, although I am not sure how much flying it is doing. Another Bf-109E that is being restored will be delivered to a UK customer if I understand correctly. But something lacking in the UK is an authentic Bf-109G that is airworthy. It's unlikely that there will be an Me-110 or Heinkel in the skies for the next couple of decades, except for Paul Allen's CASA..
