• Video description: The Battle of Britain which occurred from July to October 1940, was a World War II military operation in which the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm defended the United Kingdom against large-scale attacks by Nazi Germany's Luftwaffe. During the battle of Britain, Super Marine Spitfire Mk1 were generally tasked with engaging Luftwaffe fighters—mainly Messerschmitt Bf 109E-series aircraft, which were a close match for them. So which one of the two aircraft was more powerful?
• The scope of the assessment has been limited to the period between 1939 and 1941, when these aircraft fought each other on roughly even terms. So we shall mostly stick to the variants that were in service in this timeframe: the Spitfire MK1 and the Bf 109E
• The Supermarine Spitfire MK1 is a British single-seat fighter aircraft that served with the Royal Air Force and other Allies before, during WWII. The Spitfire operated in a variety of missions, including interceptor, photo-reconnaissance, fighter-bomber, and trainer, and it continued to do so until the end of the war. While The Messerschmitt Bf 109E on the other hand served as the backbone of the Luftwaffe's fighter force during World War II. With an all-metal monocoque structure, a closed canopy, and retractable landing gear, it was one of the most sophisticated fighters when it initially emerged. The Supermarine Spitfire was a strong competitor to the German Me 109E, and it evolved into a worthy opponent during the Battle of Britain, but with distinct flying abilities.
