why are some messerschmitts called BF's and some called ME's? cos with planes like the '108, '109 and '110 ive heard both the BF and them ME prefix used, where as with planes such as the '262 and '323, they are just ME's?
The Bf in Bf-109 and Bf-110 stood for Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (Bavarian Aircraft Works), which was the company name. Later designs bore the 'Me' prefix to honor Willie Messerschmitt much like the later versions of the Fw-190 became the Ta-152 to honor Kurt Tank.
