Re: Bf 109 vs. Spitfire production costs
According to the book The Decisive Duel: Spitfire Vs 109, the Bf 109 required less man-hours (i.e., for the Bf 109 G produced by Messerschmitt, the figure was only 4,500 man-hours, excluding herewith the equipment (radios) and armament) to manufacture than Spitfire, so on the face of it, 109 would be cheaper to build.
