The Messerschmitt Bf 109 is one of the most produced fighters in history, a mainstay of the Luftwaffe during the Second World War. In the years leading up to the conflict, several variants were tested, notably to evaluate their ability to operate from lakes or isolated bays. The Bf 109W-2 is a version fitted with floats in place of its conventional landing gear, intended to test the possibilities of naval use without the need for aircraft carriers or landing strips. This project, although quickly abandoned, is a testament to the ingenuity and aeronautical experimentation of the time. This model therefore represents a historical rarity for enthusiasts of prototypes and German military aviation.
