Historical Context – Messerschmitt Bf109T-2

The legendary Messerschmitt Bf109T-2 is a specialized version of the famous German fighter from World War II. The aircraft was developed by order of the Kriegsmarine for the planned “Graf Zeppelin” aircraft carrier. Due to the carrier’s non-completion, the Bf109T-2 found service as a land-based fighter, mainly on Norwegian airfields, where its increased wing length improved performance for takeoffs and landings on short runways.
