	Warbird Alley: Messerschmitt Bf 108 Taifun
		Messerschmitt refined its design for the M 35 2-seat aerobatic plane into the M 37 (later re-designated the Bf 108) specifically for competition in the 4th Challenge de Tourisme Internationale of 1934.
		Most of the 885 Bf 108 aircraft manufactured were of this version, which was built first by Messerschmitt and later by Societe Nationale de Constructions Aeronautiques du Nord, in France, during and after the war.
		There was one Bf 108C, a conversion from the standard Bf 108 that used, instead, a 400hp Hirth HM 512 inverted-V piston engine.

		The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was a World War II fighter aircraft designed in the early 1930s, the first truly modern fighter of the era combining the features of all-metal monocoque construction, a closed canopy and a retractable landing gear.
		The Bf 109 was the standard fighter of the Luftwaffe from just before the start of the war, and spent the first half of the war locked in combat with the Supermarine Spitfire.
		The Bf 109 E-0 was identical to the V-14 except for the armament, as the E-0 had two additional MG 17 in the wings instead of the MG FF in the propeller shaft.

		The M.37 (later given the RLM designation Bf 108) was a cantilever low-wing monoplane of basically all-metal construction with an enclosed two-seat cabin, tailskid landing gear with retractable main unit.
		In 1935 the Bf 108B appeared with a 240 hp (179 kW) Argus As 10C engine, with modifications to the fin and rudder, removal of upper external tailplane bracing and the substitution of a tail wheel for the skid.
		The obvious sterling qualities of the Bf 108 were not overlooked by the Luftwaffe, and the type was adopted and evolved into a four-seat communications and liasion aircraft.

		Messerschmitt had originally begun with his own company, and had designed several successful sailplanes and the M.18 all metal monoplane light transport aircraft by 1927, when his company merged with the Bayerische Flugzeugwerke in Augsburg, with Messerschmitt as Chief Designer and still in charge of his own company as a design bureau.
		Messerschmitt managed to make a personal enemy of Erhard Milch in 1929 when Milch - then Director of Lufthansa - cancelled all orders for ten 10-seat M.20b transports that had reached an advanced stage of construction, and demanded repayment of the DLH deposits.
		Messerschmitt Flugzeugbau - which retained rights to all of Messerschmitt's patents - was able to raise sufficient capital and in cooperation with the B.F.W. receiver forced Milch to take delivery of the ten M.20b's and pay for them in full.

		This four-seat low-wing cabin monoplane was designed by the talented Willy Messerschmitt in response to a 1933 German Air Ministry requirement for an aircraft to participate in the Challenge de Tourisme Internationale air race of 1934.
		A very advanced design for its time, the Messerschmitt M37, as it was first known, was the first aircraft of its size to use all-metal stressed skin construction.
		By the outbreak of World War II, the Bf 108 was in widespread service with the Luftwaffe as a communications and ferry aircraft.

		Messerschmitt answered without hesitation that the Me-262 had been designed from the outset to carry 500 kilograms (1,100 pounds) of bombs, could possibly carry twice as much, and would be easy to adapt to the "Jabo" role.
		Messerschmitt was straining to keep up with demands for production of existing seraphim types, a difficulty compounded by a devastating Allied air raid on the company's plant at Regensburg on 17 August 1943.
		By the end of the war, Messerschmitt was working on a prototype of the improved "Me-262B-2a" night fighter with a longer fuselage, increased fuel capacity, and most importantly "Berlin" centimetric radar, with improved range and resolutions and a dish hidden in the nose, instead of the clumsy and drag-inducing "antlers" of the long-wavelength radar.

		It's 108, not 109, and the two Germanic legends are supposedly as close to one another as their designations indicate.
		It's unfortunate the 109 has so completely overshadowed the 108, because even in it's day, it was recognized as an outstanding design and age hasn't done much to dim that.
		In fact, I remember a 108 pilot once telling me it was helpful to think of the airplane as a float plane when taxiing in a high wind.

		With the aircraft's success came interest from the Luftwaffe and the Bf 108 was soon pressed into service in a number of roles such as communications and liaisons duties and as an air ambulance.
		Essentially a Bf 108 with retractable tricycle landing gear, two were built in France but one was later destroyed in an air raid while the other managed to survive the war intact.

		The man behind the machine, Wilhelm Emil Messerschmitt, was born on June 26, 1898, in Frankfurt-am-Main, the son of a wine merchant.
		Even before the Bf-108 had made its first flight, Messerschmitt learned that the RLM (Reichsluftfahrtministerium, or air ministry) was about to issue a specification for a fighter, to be powered by the Junkers Jumo 210 engine and to be capable of at least 280 mph.
		Messerschmitt and the design team at BFW's Augsburg factory--principally Robert Lusser, Richard Bauer and Hubert Bauer--set about incorporating the Bf-108's features into a low-wing monoplane fighter with retractable landing gear, an enclosed cockpit, leading-edge slots and trailing-edge flaps in the wings.
