Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-4 “Rote 12” and Supermarine Spitfire Mk IX MH415 – two legendary fighters of World War II – compared on a purely technical level. In this video, both aircraft are presented in flight at Hahnweide, followed by a detailed breakdown of their performance characteristics. We take a closer look at: • Engine comparison – Daimler-Benz DB 601A vs Rolls-Royce Merlin 66 • Horsepower and power-to-weight ratio • Maximum speed and climb performance • Service ceiling and operational role • Armament configuration • Handling characteristics and landing behavior The Bf 109 E-4 represents early-war German fighter design, optimized for climb rate and acceleration. The Spitfire Mk IX reflects mid-war Allied engineering, balancing speed, maneuverability and high-altitude capability. Both aircraft are rare flying examples and offer a unique opportunity to compare two fundamentally different engineering philosophies – not as myths, but as machines. Filmed at Hahnweide Airfield.
