  Willy Messerschmitt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Probably Messerschmitt's single most important design was the Messerschmitt Bf 109, designed in 1934 with the collaboraton of Walter Rethel and which became the most important fighter in the Luftwaffe as Germany re-armed prior to World War II.
The Me 210 turned out to be plagued by massive development problems that were only solved by evolving the type into the Messerschmitt Me 410, and the resulting problems and delays again put the reputation of both Messerschmitt and his namesake company in jeopardy.
Messerschmitt was appointed an Honorary Professor by the Munich Technical College in 1930, and the Vice-President of the Deutsche Akademie für Luftfahrtforschnung (German Academy of Aeronautical Research).

This capability proved sufficient for the Me 209 to set a new record, Flugkapitan Fritz Wendel flying the first specially-prepared proto type on 26 April 1939 at an average speed of 755.136 km/h (469.22 mph).

Not to be confused with the first Me-209 (the 1939 Messerschmitt design to set the world speed record) the subject of this kit is the Me-109 II, otherwise known as the Me-209 V5.

At the end of May, Messerschmitt was unpleasantly surprised by the speed record set by the Heinkel He-100 V-8.

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.
It was the first aircraft that was build in an industrial scale, that was driven by a rocket engine and the first one to reach the 1000km/h mark (540kts).
