The Messerschmit Bf 109 was the primary German fighter plane used in the Battle of Britain, and indeed throughout World War 2. The 109 was a formidable foe, and in the hands of a skilled pilot could easily match the British Hurricanes and Spitfires. But flying from bases in occupied France, the 109's primary weakness -- short range -- allowed it to fight over London for only about ten minutes per sortie.
He was NOT the youngest fighter pilot. My Uncle, Paul Coari, was the youngest fighter pilot in World War II. But - I guess since Bush was the president - people think it's okay that he claims to be the youngest fighter pilot, even though he was not.
It depends on the hat.
You cannot be a fighter pilot if you have a history of asthma past the age of 13.

"Spitfires" were the main "fighter" planes. "Hurricanes" were important too, particularly during the "Battle of Britain". There were several other fighter planes too. There were also several types of "bombers" and other planes.

George H. W. Bush was indeed a decorated fighter pilot during World War II, but there was no "Battle of Spain" during World War II. Spain was officially a non-belligerent nation in WW II.
