"...although it came to overlapping, most often by subcontractors..."

That's all

BTW,what about the Mtt papers (see above) among many others that clearly indicates the "Me" prefix?
I can admitt some did "errors" or are subcontractor.But AFAIK,Mtt isn't a subcontractor of itself and the guys which drew those performances curves weren't clumsy enough to begin their performance reports with...an "error".

So,today i learn that Mtt was a subcontractor of itself.Thanks for this relevant info Sturmbok :lol:

Just so you know, just because document is "historical" doesnt automatically grant it correctness.

Yes,true.Some corroborating elements indicate that "Me" prefix were considebrably used at this time,even by on ground personal

[b]Me 109 is known to have been the name used in print by the Luftwaffe propaganda publications as well as by the Messerschmitt company itself after July 1938, and the Luftwaffe personnel, who pronounced it may hundert-neun. The Me 109 (pronounced "emm ee one-oh-nine") designation was usually used in the English-speaking world. However, in both wartime and contemporary literature, both the "Bf" and "Me" prefixes are used, and both are considered valid and accurate
