The first German mass produced 109 fighter was the Bf-109E that has been mistakenly referred to as the Me-109. The Bf is the designator for the Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (BFW) (Bavarian Aircraft Works) that produced the original aircraft. In 1938 Messerschmitt took over BFW but throughout WWII German handbooks and documents referred to the aircraft as the Bf-109. By the end of 1939 the Bf-109E (Emil) had replaced all other 109 variants and equipped 13 Gruppens with 40 aircraft each. The Bf-109 was the main single-engine aircraft until the Fw-190 came along. Helmet Wick joined the Luftwaffe in 1936 and promoted to Lieutenant in 1938. In October 1940, at the age of 25 Wick became the youngest Luftwaffe Major and Kommodore of JG-2. On October 28, 1940 while piloting Me-109 5344 Wick claimed his 55th and 56th victories before being shot down by John Dundas just before Dundas was shot down by Rudi Pflanz. Wick managed to bail out and his chute was seen opening before hitting the English Channel but he was never seen again.
