BF was the shortcut for Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (and BMW aka Bayerische Motorenwerke, the still existing car manufacturer, was holding shares). Willy Messerschmitt was the chief designer and 1938 he became the chairman and managing director. At this time Bayerische Flugzeugwerke became 'Messerschmitt'.
