The Bf 109 served the Luftwaffe continuously throughout the Second World War. But there were attempts made to replace it, and the Me 309 was just about the best looking of these, if ultimately no real improvement over the older fighter.

NOTE: All pictures in this video of the Me 309 are of the V1 prototype except for the crash picture - literally all that seem to exist.
