Re: Hungarian Messerschmitt, Me or Bf

This point came up many years ago in the letters section of an Aviation magazine. The answer setted on was that the 108.109 and 110 were designed by Willi Messerschitt while he was chief designer for the Bayeriche Flugzeugwek. As such these three aircraft numbers were prefixed with Bf , when the firm was taken over as Messerschmidt all subsequent designs had a Me prefix. Please note I personlly do not know if this is correct I am just recounting from memory of over thirty years ago.Whatever is technically the right designation both Bf and Me are widely understood as referring to these three aircraft,
Regards to all
