The Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-3 was a German fighter aircraft used primarily by the Luftwaffe during the early stages of World War II, notably in the Battle of Britain. Here's a concise overview based on available data: Role: Single-seat fighter. Specifications: Engine: Daimler-Benz DB 601Aa, a liquid-cooled V12 engine producing around 1,100 hp. Wingspan: 9.87 m (32 ft 4.5 in). Length: 8.65 m (28 ft 4 in). Maximum Speed: Approximately 570 km/h (354 mph) at 4,000 m (13,120 ft). Range: Around 660 km (410 miles). Ceiling: 11,000 m (36,000 ft). Armament:  Typically, two 7.92 mm MG 17 machine guns above the engine, two 20 mm MG FF cannons in the wings, and sometimes a 20 mm MG FF/M cannon firing through the propeller hub. Performance: The E-3 was known for its agility, climb rate, and dive speed, making it a formidable opponent against early Allied fighters like the Hawker Hurricane and Supermarine Spitfire. However, its limited range was a drawback during long-range escort missions. Historical Use: Introduced in 1939, the Bf 109 E-3 saw extensive action in the invasion of Poland, the Battle of France, and the Battle of Britain (1940). It was a key component of the Luftwaffe’s fighter force but was gradually outclassed by improved Allied designs. Variants: The E-3 was an evolution of the earlier Bf 109 E-1, featuring upgraded armament (cannons over machine guns) and slight performance improvements.
