Back in 1991-92, I put together a program for the Amiga computer about the Messerschmitt Bf109 fighter of World War Two. It was available over the next few years as a fully commercial product and then put in the public domain (PD). It was part of the "Learning Curve" CD Rom published by Wierd Science. I converted the program to run on PCs, albeit only as a DOS program and this was also available as a commercial product before being released as PD.
I took the key elements from the program and preserved them on this website. You will see that many of the pictures were originally produced with "Dpaint" on an Amiga for the low-res 16 and 256 colour screens in use in the early '90s, giving it a "retro" look. Having remained much the same for 30 years, a flurry of angry emails about the information being out-of-date and causing heated arguments on internet forums, caused me to update the website, particularly the list of different Bf109 versions, in 2024. It should be noted that the destruction of many documents at the end of WW2 means that ongoing research often throws up new and conflicting narratives about the Bf109.
I don't want to get involved in the argument about which is correct; "Bf109" or "Me109". I stick to "Bf" throughout.
