This is not a pissing contest. If you read about the RLM and how the designation was changed then you will understand why the 109 is actually a Bf and not a Me.

Officially, BF is correct.

Unofficialy, some luftwaffe members accidentally used ME.

So please use BF from now on to avoid confusion, and wastes of post space.

There is no such thing as waste of post space....

That is what this forum is about, discussing WW2 aviation and that is what is being done here.

Actually, if pedantics be the game, the RLM designation for the type was '8-109'. And I do understand perfectly why the 109 was initially designated 'Bf 109'.

I'll use 'Bf' because, as I've said before, it's my preference; and not because you seem to think that it's the way it should be, thank you very much!

After some digging, I see that this has been discussed here before and I'm starting to get a barometer on how things go around here, so I won't beat a dead horse in front of a stubborn crowd.

Sorry I'll change right away and I'll tell all the pilots that I talk to that flew the thing or against it to change post haste

Hey hey hey, you need to have an attitude check! Can the attitude immediatly or this stubborn crowd is going to send this "know it all" packing.

Everyone can discuss things in an adult like polite manner allright, you dont have to get an attitude with anyone!

Everyone learns from everyone else here. Myths are broken and truths come out. It does not have to be done with attitude however. If you wish to have an attitude please take it someplace else.
