The German Luftwaffe entered World War II in September 1939, employing as its main day fighter the Messerschmitt Bf-109, one of the classic fighter aircraft designs of all time. When war broke out, it was already riding high on a reputation derived from its successful blooding in the Spanish Civil War.

1941 saw the introduction of the Focke Wolf Fw-190 over the English Channel. Its superiority over the Spitfire Mk. V saw it rapidly become the Luftwaffe fighter arm's 'second iron' and it was to play a major role in the widening conflict from 1941 onwards. 

This program covers the operations of the Bf-109 in its role on all fronts to 1942 and the early missions by the FW-190 over France and the English Channel.
