It seems quite artificial to not allow the Bf-109E1 and E3 variants, since both were used for campaigns other than the BoB, starting with the Spanish Civil War!

Likewise, the Spitfire MkI was in service from the beginning of the war and was used during the Battle of the Netherlands and the Battle of France.

Yes, that means anything BoB-related (including a Channel Map, Spit I, Bf 109 E-1, E-3 etc) is out.

Would there be any possibility of getting a separate license from Huntington Ingalls Shipyard to model these craft?

Not at all, since 1C and Ubisoft have accepted NG's claim by signing an agreement. That agreement still stands and includes anything that was built by companies now or previously owned by Grumman.

You can wriggle like the mother of all cans of worms but it won't change the basic fact that there is something that keeps TD from doing NG-related aircraft/ships and that there is an agreement between the TD core people and Oleg which excludes further things.
