FIrst debut in the Spanish Civil War, around 1937. Many planes of her
generation were considered obsolete by the middle of WW2, but the
109,
who may be considered as the first of it, was improved and kept going
until the end of the war.


So did the P-40. But both were obsolescent by 1943, and why the do-
anything FW-190 didn't take over all fighter production is probably
due to shitty Third Reich politics.

Good point. The kraut flew the Me109 because they had to, not because of it being anything special.
