Bf 109E started reaching the Jagdgrupen through autuma of 1939 with II/JG 54 getting a few of the very first macnines. On 22 November an E-3 dropped into Allied fingers whenever a pilot from II/JG 54 crashlanded near Worth, some twenty kilometers inside France. THis machine will never just be tested regarding French but was in modification provided for England plus in conclusion on U.S. for assessment. The brand new, faster and harder-punching aircraft have been exceptionally welcome toward young luftwaffe pillots that, occasionally, were literally fighting because of their life against Allied pilots.
