The oldest surviving Messerschmitt Bf 109 is believed to be Werknummer (W.Nr.) 790, a Bf 109 E-1 from 1939, which is on display at the Deutsches Museum in Munich, Germany. This aircraft is notable because it is the earliest surviving Bf 109 to have seen combat service, having operated with J/88 of the Condor Legion and later with the Spanish Air Force #bf109 #munich #messerschmitt #aviation #history #bayern #warbirds #luftwaffe #oldest #Nostalgia #deutschland #ww2 #wwii #ww2history #wwiihistory
