Historical Note:    The Messerschmitt Bf 109E was the mainstay of the Luftwaffe's fighter squadrons during the Battle of Britain.  Generally regarded as being at least as effective as the Spitfire, the leading German Messerschmitt pilots were among the best aerial fighters the world had ever seen.  Among the many fighter units which utilized the Bf 109E were JG 2 "Richthofen" , JG 26 "Schlageter" (later commanded by Adolf Galland) and the unit which this model came from, JG 3 "Udet".  It was flown by Group Commander Hauptmann Hans  "Vati" von Hahn, who ended the war with 34 kills.
