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. Willy Messerschmitt was the head designer for BFW(Thanks. I wasn't sure of the name of the company. Wonder why it wasn't caled BFW-109.)
The Messerschmitt Bf 109 (or Me 109). Over 33,000 of this German fighter were built. It remained in service as late as 1968 in the Spanish Air Force.
Messerschmitt was founded in 1938, just the year before WW2 began. During WW1 Messerschmitt worked on Friedrich Harth's gliders, but these did not see use in the war. In 1917 Messerschmitt voluntarily enlisted in the German army and served until the end of the war, after which he returned to glider research.
Willy Messerschmitt was the main designer of the aircrafts... like the 262, 163 and of course the famous 109.
