Re: German aircraft designations - Fundamental issues
Another possible reason for these variations is the simple fact that "humans" typed these documents. Every document was typed by a human and each human will type the same information differently whether there is a regulation or not, Bf-109e, Bf-109E, BF-109e, BF-109E, Me-109e, Me-109E, ME-109e, etc.., etc..
I've seen original Messerschmitt documents (microfilm) at NASM where Bf-109 and Me-109 are both used. If the manufacturer can't keep it straight, what are the chances everyone else did? The same discrepancies occur on the American side as well.
