The German Messerschmitt Bf 109 is probably the most famous fighter of WWII. The modification Bf 109F was designed in the spring of 1940 and quickly became one of the best fighter aircraft of the period with its improved aerodynamics. Production began in March 1941 for the Bf 109F-2 fighters with DB 601N engines and 15mm MG 151/15 machine cannons. The Bf 109F became the basis of German fighter aviation during the Barbarossa operation. They took part in hard air battles from the Kola to the Crimea peninsulas. Many German aces, including W. Molders, G. Lutzov, H. Trautloft and others piloted these fighters.
