Messerschmitt Me109G-6 (Trop), Maggiore Antonio Vizzotto, Regia Aeronautica, 150 Gruppo, Sicily, July 1943.
Just as the famous Fokker Eindecker had previously done during the Great War, the Messerschmitt Bf 109 would redefine aerial warfare and was an aircraft which was intended to dominate the sky. An aircraft that incorporated all the latest technological developments the aviation world had to offer, this project may have advanced as a lightweight monoplane fighter but possessed the one attribute all hunting aeroplanes needed, and that was great speed. Produced in response to a Reich Aviation Ministry requirement for an advanced single-seat fighter aircraft, the design submitted by Bayerische Flugzeugwerke was radical in the extreme, diminutive and lightweight in construction and utilizing the most powerful in-line aero engines in development in Germany at that time.
