| 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.

| Yes you were. The whole 'Bf' or 'Me' thing is very confusing.
