 | | Willy Messerschmitt's firm Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (Bavarian Aircraft Works) entered along with Heinkel, Junkers, Focke-Wulf, and a few others for this 1934 competition after a few political and public relation strings were pulled. |
 | | The correct way to write the name of the Bayerische Flugzeugwerke Messerschmitt designed fighter is Bf 109, without any dash. |
 | | The Me prefix was used for the others aircraft like the 209 that set the world speed record, 210/410, 163, 262, 309, etc. The prefix change was due to a company reorganization that happened on July 11, 1938. |
