Historical background

The Messerschmitt Bf 109E-3 was one of the most important variants of the famous German fighter, widely used by the Luftwaffe during World War II. Few people know that Switzerland, despite its neutral status, purchased a limited number of these aircraft (a total of 80 units) to protect its own airspace from intrusions, mainly by both Axis and Allied forces. The Swiss aircraft were famed for their distinctive large red cross on the wings and fuselage, as well as unique markings that effectively distinguished them from the military machines of other countries. The Bf 109E-3 under the Swiss flag took part in numerous interception missions from 1939 to the end of the war (1945).
