There were more E-4s around by late September than all Spitfire Marks combined...
On 31 August 1940, fighter units (excluding JG 77) reported>
375 E-1s,
125 E-3s,
339 E-4s
32 E-7s on strength,
Most of the E-3s had been already converted to E-4 standard.
By July, one Gruppe (Wing) of JG 26 was equipped with the Bf 109 E-4/N model of improved performance, powered by the new DB 601N engine using 100 octane aviation fuel.
