The E-4 contained a 1,100 hp Daimler Benz DB 601Aa engine and was armed with two 7.9mm machine guns on the nose, as well as a 20mm cannon on each wing. For some aircraft, bulletproof glass was used to reinforce the front of the canopy. Displaying superb acceleration and diving ability, the E-type planes overpowered the RAF’s Hawker Hurricane and equaled the Spitfire fighters in the Battle of Britain. However, with a flight range of only 560km, the E-4 planes were limited to just fifteen minutes of combat over British skies. Thus, the Luftwaffe bombers were not given sufficient support and sustained heavy damage. To deal with the drawback, the E-4 planes were equipped with an additional 300L fuel tank. These improved fighters, called E-7, were first deployed at the end of 1940. After the Battle of Britain, the E-4/7 planes were sent to the front lines of Northern Africa. As the Bf109 F-type fighter’s production advanced, the E-4/7 was retired from the front lines. Although the E-4/7 was retired, it continued to see action, mainly for ground support duty until the summer of 1942.</p> Thu, 16 Jun 2011 19:20:36 -0700 2007-01-06T11:50:44-08:00 nobody@flickr.com (Opëx Røver) tag:flickr.com,2004:/photo/5841239842 Messerschmitt Bf 109 E <p>Here's the special surprise I promised you guys.
