History
Switzerland got its first Me-109's in 1938 when 10
Me-109D's were delivered. After this 80 E-3 were purchased which arrived
from April 1939. The 109's had a successful service life. During the war
a further two 109's (two F's and two G's) were acquired by the Swiss Air
Force through internment. During the war the Swiss aircraft were painted in more and more colorful markings to avoid confusion with German 109's.
