Me 109
Narrow nose, angular canopy and a narrow-track landing gear: the Messerschmitt Bf 109 is the most-produced fighter in history and today a rare warbird. Here is how to tell the Emil, the Gustav and the Spanish Buchón apart and find airworthy examples.
Messerschmitt Me 262
Me 262 Schwalbe
Triangular fuselage, two jet engines under the wings, nosewheel landing gear: the Me 262 was the first jet fighter in operational service. Today you see it as an original in a museum or as an airworthy replica with modern engines.
