The Hurricane&#**9;s comparative weakness in acceleration was offset by its extreme strength and ruggedness. There was little to choose between the Spitfire and the Me**9 between *2,**0 and *7,**0 feet, but above *0,**0 feet the Messerschmitt was undoubtedly the better machine. It dived faster than its opponents, but required much more physical effort to fly. The weak, narrow undercarriage caused many accidents, but despite this and the cramped cockpit, the aircraft was popular with its pilots. Designed by Willy Messerschmitt during ***4, and originally powered by a Rolls-Royce Kestrel V engine, the Me**9 won a fighter competition in October ***5. During the process of progressive development in the pre-war years the aircraft appeared in successively more powerful and heavier armed versions; and the Me**9B and C models achieved great success in Spain with the Legion Condor&#**9;s fighter unit. Many of the Lufwaffe&#**9;s most successful wartime fighter pilots received their operational blooding in Spain on the early **9 models. By August ***0 twenty-three Gruppen were in action on the Channel front mainly equipped with the improved Me**9E*3 which mounted two machine guns in the nose, and two in the wings. Provision for a cannon firing through the spinner was also made in the design, but due to heating and vibration problems, this was never used in action.
