The Hispano Aviación HA-1112 was a license-built version of the Messerschmitt Bf 109G-2 developed in Spain during and after World War II. The Spanish government in 1942 contracted with Messerschmitt to supply Bf 109G-2 materials, but due to difficulties incurred by the war, the company only delivered 25 incomplete airframes to Hispano Aviación. The plane shown in this photo has been rebuilt to resemble a Luftwaffe Bf 109, except without the Nazi swastika.Photo credit: Kogo
