Spitfire largely cancelled out in combat. The Hurricane's comparative weakness
in acceleration was offset by its extreme strength and ruggedness. There was little
to choose between the Spitfire and the Me109 between 12,000 and 17,000 feet,
but above 20,000 feet the Messerschmitt was undoubtedly the better machine. It
dived faster than its opponents, but required much more physical effort to fly.
The weak, narrow undercarriage caused many accidents, but despite this and the
cramped cockpit, the aircraft was popular with its pilots.
Designed by Willy Messerschmitt during 1934, and originally powered by a Rolls-Royce
Kestrel V engine, the Me109 won a fighter competition in October 1935.
During the process of progressive development in the pre-war years the aircraft appeared
in successively more powerful and heavier armed versions; and the Me109B
and C models achieved great success in Spain with the Legion Condor's fighter unit.Many of the Lufwaffe's most successful wartime fighter pilots received their operational
blooding in Spain on the early 109 models. By August 1940 twenty-three Gruppen
were in action on the Channel front mainly equipped with the improved Me109E-3
which mounted two machine guns in the nose, and two in the wings.
Provision for a cannon firing through the spinner was also made in the design, but
due to heating and vibration problems, this was never used in action.
