Talk:Messerschmitt Me 309

this statement "just as the Bf 109 was having its first encounters with the Spitfire in the Battle of Britain, the first aircraft to match the 109 in speed and performance." is incorrect the 109 not encounter the Spitfire first time in the BoB but they have already encounters in the May — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.9.231.120 (talk) 15:48, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Me 262
it would appear that the design of the Me 262 derived from or in parallel to this aircraft. The tail and wings appear identical, only angled back more in the 262 for COG reasons. The overall package is similar, as are the landing gear. Seems worth mentioning. Idumea47b (talk) 21:05, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
