The oldest surviving Messerschmitt Bf 109 is believed to be Werknummer (W.Nr.) 790, a Bf 109 E-1 from 1939, which is on display at the Deutsches Museum in Munich, Germany. This aircraft is notable because it is the earliest surviving Bf 109 to have seen combat service, having operated with J/88 of the Condor Legion and later with the Spanish Air Force #bf109 #munich #messerschmitt #aviation #history #bayern #warbirds #luftwaffe #oldest #Nostalgia #deutschland #ww2 #wwii #ww2history #wwiihistory

The Messerschmitt BF109 was a born dogfighter thanks to its advanced automatic leading-edge slats. They enabled the plane to make much tighter turns–a huge advantage in an aerial dogfight. 🎥Air Warriors | Smithsonian Channel Aviation Nation
