Re: Most Successful Aircraft Designer
The reason why I hadn't included Messerschmitt in the above is that other than the Bf-108 and Bf-109, most of the designs that came out of his company stemmed from other designers efforts - Robert Lusser and Waldemar Voigt being an example.
From 1938 Willy was appointed chairman and managing director, and as such moved away from design to running the company. You may notice that Kelly Johnson (the brilliant chief designer of Lockheed) is also not amonst those mentioned. Thats because most of his creative work occurred after the war.
