Messerschmitt Me 110 G Zerstörer,
Heavy Fighter-Bomber
|
|
1934 the RLM asked for a heavy fighter with great
range and some defensive armament. In practice, the
Bf 110 was not agile enough to withstand single-
engine fighters. It was used in various roles like
fighter-bomber, ground support and nightfighting.

Fighter

The Me 109 E was the standard fighter of the Luft-
waffe at the beginning of the II WW. At that time it
was the most advanced fighter, but soon there was
competition like the Spitfire, so the 109 was further
developed and other types like the FW 190 arose.
