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.
