The ME 109 has been in the thick of action wherever the Luftwaffe has operated. It has maneuverability, climbing ability, and its ceiling is higher than some of the Allied fighters sent against it. Some subtypes have pressurized cabin for sustained operation at high altitude, and "GM-1" equipment for short emergency acceleration at high altitude may be installed.
