The Magister or 'Maggie', as it was nicknamed, was used to train Royal Air Force pilots during the 1930s, with around 700 in service at the outbreak of World War 2.

The Bf 109 was the Luftwaffe's main fighter aircraft of the late 1930s and saw combat during the Spanish Civil War as part of the Condor Legion.
