"Messerchmitt AG" was a famous German aircraft manufacturing concern. It was known best for the WWII light fighter aircraft, the Bf 109 and the Me262.
Messerschmitt was the name of the company. They made aircraft during WWII - the Bf 109 and the Me 262 are the most prominent - and supplied them to the Luftwaffe over the course of the war. So the correct answer should be from the beginning of WWII to the end - Sep. 1st, 1939 until May 8th, 1945.
It is the same plane, but Bf stands for the German name of the plane.
There are not that many left in the world and few are airworthy. A restored BF-109 would cost at least 2-4 million.
The Messerschmitt Bf 109, commonly referred to as the ME 109, had a top speed that varied depending on the variant. The Bf 109E, one of the more famous versions, had a top speed of around 600 km/h (approximately 373 mph). Later variants, such as the Bf 109K, could reach speeds of around 700 km/h (approximately 435 mph). Overall, the Bf 109 was one of the fastest fighters of its time.
The Bf 109 used the Daimler-Benz DB 605A-1 liquid-cooled inverted V12 engine (Bf 109B-1 to K-4)
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, also known as the Me-109, was the main fighter plane used by the German Air Force (the Luftwaffe) during World War II.
