By 1945 there had been approximately 34,000 Bf-109’s built, making it the most produced fighter aircraft in the world (over 12,000 Bf-109G’s were manufactured making it the most produced variant).
In addition to Germany the Bf-109 was operated by their Axis allies including Bulgaria (19 E and 145 G models), Croatia (Approximately 23 E & 27 G models), Finland (159 G models – apparently the Finns flying the Bf-109 G claimed a 25:1 victory ratio against the Soviets! Retired in 1954), Hungary ( a major operator of the Bf-109 the Hungarians received 3 D, 50 E, 66 F and approximately 490 G models), Italy (operated 302 G and 3 K models), Japan (5 E models were delivered in 1941 for testing and evaluation), Romania (operated 69 E, 7 F and approximately 310 G models. Retired in 1955) and the Slovak Republic (30 E and 30 G models).
Other non Axis nations who operated the Bf-109 were Switzerland (operated 10 D, 89 E, 2 F and 14 G models. Occasionally they were used in combat with German aircraft that entered Swiss airspace. The last was retired in the 1950’s) and Yugoslavia (operated 73 E models and at the end of World War Two also received some Bf-109’s from Croatia and Bulgaria).
