Flying and fighting in the Messerschmitt Bf 109
“During the Battle of Britain, German aces Werner Molders and Adolf Galland, flying their Messerschmitt Bf 109s, learnt to adopt hit-and-run tactics against the more manoeuvrable British fighters, the Spitfire and Hurricane. They discovered that there was no point in trying to get into a dogfight with the Spitfire or Hurricane as this was to fight on their opponent’s terms.”
