Messerschmitt Bf 109
During WWII, the Bf 109 was the backbone of the Luftwaffe fighter force, serving on all fronts and also in the air forces of its European allies. By war's end, Germany had built more than 30,000 Bf 109s. Production continued on after the war in Czechoslovakia until 1949 and in Spain until 1958. It remains to this day the most produced fighter in history. Below is a list with survivors - there are more examples known, but most of these are rebuilds from recovered crash components (several of those below are as well). Not included are the Spanish-built HA-1112 "Buchon" and the Czech Avia S-199. Bf 109 E ("Emil")
Bf 109 F ("Friedrich")
