Why is the Messerschmidt 109 fighter referred to as Bf-109 and not Me-109?
BF stands for the company that built the aircraft = Bayerische Flugzeugwerke or BFW (bavarian aircraft manufacturers) - it was the official German aviation ministry designation - ME is for planes built / designed by Messerschmitt - Willy Messerschmitt was not involved at the beginning with the 109 design which is why it probably was called the BF-109 although he did eventually work on it.
