Me or Bf 109?

Just for the sake of clearing my curiosity.

Alfonso,

The Me-109 and Bf-109 are the same airplane, the model 109 fighter designed
by Willi Messerschmidt in the early 1930s.

You will often see this plane referred to as the Bf-109, in reference to the
Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (the aviation arm of the Bayerische Motorenwerke,
or BMW), which was the factory that initially produced the 109....

Thanks very much. Very illustrative.

The kind of info. that I like to save.

The question came from a historical article that I have read about the
different iterations and capabilities of the Messerschmidt 109 as it
evolved during the war. I don't remember the autor (Murphy's law: I
didn't save it because it was in print and I lost it).

Your historical points are extremely interesting.

Thanks,

Alfonso
