 RLM aircraft designation system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The RLM aircraft designation system was an attempt by the aviation bureaucracy of the Third Reich to standardize and produce an identifier for each aircraft type produced in Germany.
The very first exemption from that rule was several years later granted Blohm and Voss, when they renamed their split-off aircraft manufacturer from Hamburger Flugzeugbau (Ha) to Blohm and Voss and got BV for their new aircraft, the first being the BV 138.
With the Luftwaffes hunger for fresh airplanes far outpacing the capacity of the original manufacturers, certainly with its factories now regularly being bombed by the allies, aircraft construction was increasingly subcontracted and licensed out.

 Reichsluftfahrtministerium - TvWiki, the free encyclopedia
General Werner von Blomberg, head of OKW and one of the most powerful people in Germany's then-small Army, decided that the importance of aviation was such that it should no longer be subordinate to the Army.
The only thing the Luftwaffe had in any number were men, so many in fact that some were formed into a infantry division under command of the Luftwaffe, concept that was invented simply to keep from losing them to the Army.
Aircraft production shot up, and projects that had been hampered for political reasons, like the Heinkel He 219 Uhu were finally able to proceed.

 Wikipedia: Fieseler
The Gerhard Fieseler Werke was a German aircraft manufacturer of the 1930s and 40s.
The company is remembered mostly for its military aircraft built for the Luftwaffe during the Second World War.
Even greater success was to follow in 1936 when an aircraft of Fieseler's own design won a tender for a new STOL observation and liaison aircraft for the Luftwaffe.

However, it is designated as a "machine pistol" by its manufacturer (MP5 stands for Machine Pistol 5), a designation some reserve to firearms such as the MAC-10, which are the size and shape of pistols, unlike the MP5.
The significant recoil of the weapon when fired in full automatic mode was seen as a problem, and it was replaced with a more traditional assault rifle in Eugene Stoner's M16.

The RLM aircraft designation system was an attempt by the aviation bureaucracy of the Third Reich to standardize and produce a identifier for each aircraft type produced in Germany.
More duplicates were created when the RLM allocated "8-" series numbers to captured foreign aircraft, such as Czech Zlin XII aircraft referred to as "8-12" when this same number was already being used for the Dornier Do 12 That is similarly wrong.
The upshot of all this is that there is no single "master list" of designations that holds true throughout 1933-1945, and that the sequence is particularly muddled at the beginning and end of the list.

 Reichsluftfahrtministerium
The RLM was notoriously political, and probably did more to destroy the Luftwaffe than any military action on the part of the Allies.
The RLM was formed in April 1933 in the center of Berlin, from the Reichskommissariat für die Luftfahrt, which had been established two months earlier with Hermann Göring at its head.
The only thing the Luftwaffe had in any number were men, so many in fact that some were formed into a infantry division under command of the Luftwaffe, concept that was invented simply to keep from losing them to the Army.

The RLM used an internal designation system that included a number signifying the engine type, 9 for piston engines and 109 for jets and rockets, followed by a manufacturer's code.
However this system was not widely used, even within the RLM, and a common name consisting of th manufacturer's name (often abbreviated) followed by the model number was much more common.

AIRCRAFT CARRIER by John Winton is a fictional account of British corsair pilots operating from a British aircraft carrier (one of four) of the British Pacific Fleet in the last months of the war.
This design book on what can be done with the interior of an aircraft will come as quite a shock to those of us who have spent the better part of a lifetime in one airplane or another headed to yet another meeting or trade show.
It also shows what the aircraft manufacturers do when they come up with new planes -- that's before the airlines use the space to cram in all the seats they possibly can.

More duplicates were created when the RLM allocated "8-" series numbers to captured foreign aircraft, such as Czech Zlin XII aircraft referred to as "8-12" when this same number was already being used for the Dornier Do 12.
The suffix Trop (for "tropical") was applied to aircraft modified to operate in the hot and dusty North African and Mediterranean theatres, for example, the Bf 109F-4 Trop.
