Re: Hungarian Messerschmitt, Me or Bf

Dear Artie
I am awared of mixed appearance of both Me and Bf prefixes in the German documents and even on aircraft. German airmen generally reffered to Me and not Bf (I believe I have a Flugbuch stating so - 1943, but the question is, who filed it), and I have even seen authentic Me 109G(!) ID dataplate, so I would not restrict it to propaganda and internal issues only.
In such a fuss I do not believe RLM had not issued any document, as they were worried even with less important things. You know, bureaucracy is a kind of cancer...
Thus said, I would say statement that Bf is official and Me not is a little bit too definite in the current state of knowledge. That is all.
By the way, every Lw man I have talked to pronunced 'Mayh' rather than 'Emmee'.
