Historical Description

The Messerschmitt Bf 109 F-2 belonged to the so-called “Friedrich” series, which represented an evolution and modernization of the earlier versions of this iconic fighter. This variant was characterized not only by a higher speed (up to 635 km/h), but above all by improved maneuverability and upgraded armament – the MG 151/15 15 mm cannon and two MG 17 machine guns. The F-2 was widely used during Operation Barbarossa, the fights on the Eastern Front, as well as on the Western Front. It was the main equipment of German fighter units during the most challenging years of the war.
