Founded as part of a merger with MAN and BWM, Messerschmitt grew to notoriety when the Bf 109 won the 1935 Luftwaffe Fighter Competition. With a unique construction method and an innovative design philosophy, Messerschmitt is competing closely with Focke-Wulf for control of the German combat aircraft market.
