How would the Battle of Britain have been different if Me-109s did not exist and were replaced in the battle by Spitfires? That is, Luftwaffe squadrons that historically contained Me-109Es instead were equipped with Spitfire Mk. Is, and RAF's Fighter Command had no Spitfires, but the Spitfire squadrons were equipped with more Hurricanes. One thing I already know is that the Spitfire was as short-ranged as the Me-109, so the amount of time that German fighters had over Britain would not have improved. Also, I'm sure RAF Fighter Command's losses would increase.
