The first Bf 109V1 fighter was flown in September 1935.
Hans-Joachim Pabst von Ohain designed Messerschmitt ME. 262 in April 1939. Its first test flight was in March 1943 by Fritz Wendel. Its first successful mission was flown by Adolf Galland.
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.)
A Spitfire was a British fighter plane during World War 2 and a Messerschmitt was a German fighter.
