The Aircraft:
Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IIa- Possibly the most iconic fighter of the Second World War the Supermarine Spitfire along with the Hurricane was instrumental to the RAF winning the Battle of Britain in 1940. Keeping its popular shape and constantly improving its armament and engine, Britain would go on to build more Spitfires than any other aircraft type during the war.
Messerschmitt Bf 109E-4- The Messerschmitt BF-109 'Emil' was the Luftwaffe's premier single-engine fighter at the outbreak of WWII. This powerful Luftwaffe fighter ran wild over Poland, the Low Countries, and France devastating its opponents. Throughout the war, the Bf-109 constantly improved its aerodynamics, weapon systems, and engines to keep up with Allied fighter development.
Messerschmitt Bf 110: also shortened to Bf 110, is a twin-engined heavy fighter and fighter-bomber in service for the German forces. Armed with 2 20mm cannons and 5 machine guns, it made up for its lack of agility with armament and advanced tactics. Its debut had a large amount of success serving in Poland, France, and Norway. Even after, it continued its service until the end of the war.
