The Messerschmitt Bf 110 was a German twin-engine fighter aircraft used primarily during World War II. Initially designed as a long-range escort fighter and heavy fighter, it entered service in 1937 and quickly became a prominent weapon in the Luftwaffe. Powered by two Daimler-Benz DB 601 engines, the Bf 110 had a top speed of around 340 mph and was armed with a variety of cannons and machine guns, making it a formidable adversary in combat. However, its relatively poor maneuverability made it vulnerable to faster, more agile single-engine fighters like the British Spitfire during the Battle of Britain. Despite this, the Bf 110 was adapted for roles such as night fighting and reconnaissance, and it proved effective in these areas. The aircraft's robust design and versatility allowed it to remain in service throughout much of the war.
