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.
Helmut Wick joined the Luftwaffe in 1935 and in January 1939 he was flying a Messerschmitt Bf-
109. In August 1939 Wick transferred to JG 2 and scored his first victory on November 22, 1939.
August 1940 Wick became an Oberleutnant and soon a Hauptmann. Wick was appointed
Gruppenkommandeur of I./JG 2 in September 1940. October 1940, at the age of 25, Wick
became the youngest Major in the Wehrmacht and a Kommodore. On November 28, 1940 Wick
scored his 56th victory just before he himself was shot down and lost.
