In 1934, in collaboration with Walter Rethel, he designed the Messerschmitt Bf 109, which became the most important fighter aircraft in the Luftwaffe as Germany rearmed prior to World War II. It remains the second most-produced warplane in history, with some 34,000 built, behind the Soviet Ilyushin Il-2. Another Messerschmitt aircraft, first called 'Bf 109R', purpose-built for record setting, but later re-designated Messerschmitt Me 209, broke the absolute world airspeed record and held the world speed record for propeller-driven aircraft until 1969. Messerschmitt's firm also produced the first jet-powered fighter to enter service β the Messerschmitt Me 262.Made of heavy card, this black and white photo is in EXCELLENT condition! Dating around 1942, it features the image of a Messeraschmitt Me110 in flight. Signed in ink at the bottom, is the autograph of Willy Messerschmitt. Some marks and wear due to the age , but nothing that detracts. 100% original, it would make aPERFECT addition to any collection or display!
