Umm... they weren't actually Me109s until the G series (they were redesignated as a tribute to Willi Messerschmitt).

All 109s prior to the G are more properly referred to as Bf109s.

Same thing with the 190s.... the 190 series were the Fw190 ... and its successor was the Ta152 (redesignated as a tribute to Kurt Tank)
