Details of the company were recorded in the Commercial Register with an equity capital of RM 1,000,000 on 7 March 1916. 36% of the capital was provided by the <a href="/wiki/Bank_f%C3%BCr_Handel_und_Industrie" class="mw-redirect" title="Bank für Handel und Industrie">Bank für Handel und Industrie</a>, Berlin, 30% by MAN AG and 34% by Hermann Bachstein, Berlin. The first Chairman of the Board of Management was Peter Eberwein, who had previously been employed at <a href="/wiki/Albatros_Flugzeugwerke" title="Albatros Flugzeugwerke">Albatros Flugzeugwerke</a>. </p><p>Due to the need for immediate aircraft production for the ongoing war, there was no time for development work and BFW manufactured aircraft under licence from <a href="/wiki/Albatros_Flugzeugwerke" title="Albatros Flugzeugwerke">Albatros Flugzeugwerke</a>. Within a month of being set up, the company was able to supply aircraft to the war ministries of <a href="/wiki/Prussia" title="Prussia">Prussia</a> and <a href="/wiki/Bavaria" title="Bavaria">Bavaria</a>. However, major quality problems were encountered at the start. The German air crews frequently complained about the serious defects that appeared in the first machines from BFW. The same thing had happened with the aircraft from the predecessor company run by Gustav Otto. It was only organizational changes and more intensive supervision of the assembly line that succeeded in resolving these problems by the end of 1916. BFW then started turning out over 200 aircraft a month, with their workforce growing to 3,000 and becoming one of the largest aircraft manufacturers in Bavaria. </p><p>The end of the war hit BFW hard, since military demand for aircraft collapsed. The company's management were forced to look for new products with which to maintain their position in the market. Since World War I aircraft were largely built from wood to keep their weight down, BFW was equipped with the very latest joinery plant. The company still held stocks of materials sufficient for about 200 aircraft, and worth 4.7 million reichsmarks. The machinery and the materials were then used for the production of furniture and fitted kitchens. In addition, from 1921 onwards, the company manufactured motorcycles of its own design under the names of Flink and Helios. </p><p>In the autumn of 1921, Austrian financier <a href="/wiki/Camillo_Castiglioni" title="Camillo Castiglioni">Camillo Castiglioni</a> first announced his interest in purchasing BFW. While most of the shareholders accepted his offer, MAN AG initially held on to its shareholding in BFW, but Castiglioni wanted to acquire all the shares. He was supported in this by BMW's Managing Director Franz Josef Popp who, in a letter to the chairman of MAN, described BFW as a "dead factory, which possesses no plant worth mentioning, and consists very largely of dilapidated and unsuitable wooden sheds situated in a town that is extremely unfavorable for industrial activities and whose status continues to give little cause for enthusiasm". Apparently Popp was still in close contact with Castiglioni and was perhaps even privy to the latter's plans for merging BMW with BFW. It was probably in the spring of 1922 that Castiglioni and Popp persuaded MAN to give up its shares in BFW, so that now the company belonged exclusively to Castiglioni. Then, in May of the same year, when the Italian-born investor was able to acquire BMW's engine business from <a href="/wiki/Knorr-Bremse" title="Knorr-Bremse">Knorr-Bremse AG</a>, nothing more stood in the way of a merger between the aircraft company BFW and the engine builders BMW. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Reestablishment">Reestablishment</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Messerschmitt&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Reestablishment"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (BFW/Bavarian Aircraft Works) was reformed in 1926, in <a href="/wiki/Augsburg" title="Augsburg">Augsburg</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bavaria" title="Bavaria">Bavaria</a>, when <a href="/wiki/Udet_Flugzeugbau" title="Udet Flugzeugbau">Udet Flugzeugbau GmbH</a> was changed into a joint-stock company.

Many<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

Milch was upset by the lack of response from Messerschmitt and this led to a lifelong hatred towards him. Milch eventually cancelled all contracts with Messerschmitt and forced BFW into bankruptcy in 1931. However, Messerschmitt's friendship with <a href="/wiki/Hugo_Junkers" title="Hugo Junkers">Hugo Junkers</a> prevented a stagnation of the careers of him and BFW, which was started again in 1933. Milch still prevented Messerschmitt's takeover of the BFW until 1938, hence the designation "Bf" of early Messerschmitt designs. </p><p>Messerschmitt promoted a concept he called "light weight construction" in which many typically separate load-bearing parts were merged into a single reinforced firewall, thereby saving weight and improving performance. The first true test of the concept was in the <a href="/wiki/Messerschmitt_Bf_108" class="mw-redirect" title="Messerschmitt Bf 108">Bf 108</a> <i>Taifun</i> sports aircraft, which would soon be setting all sorts of records. Based on this performance the company was invited to submit a design for the <a href="/wiki/Luftwaffe" title="Luftwaffe">Luftwaffe</a>'s 1935 fighter contest, winning it with the <a href="/wiki/Messerschmitt_Bf_109" title="Messerschmitt Bf 109">Bf 109</a>, based on the same construction methods. </p><p>From this point on Messerschmitt became a favorite of the <a href="/wiki/Nazism" title="Nazism">Nazi</a> party, as much for his designs as his political abilities and the factory location in southern Germany away from the "clumping" of aviation firms on the northern coast. BFW was reconstituted as "Messerschmitt AG" on 11 July 1938, with Willy Messerschmitt as chairman and managing director. The renaming of BFW resulted in the company's <a href="/wiki/RLM_aircraft_designation_system" title="RLM aircraft designation system">RLM</a> designation prefix changing from "Bf" to "Me" for all newer designs that were accepted by the RLM after the acquisition date. Existing types, such as the Bf 109 and 110, retained their earlier designation in official documents, although sometimes the newer designations were used as well, most often by subcontractors, such as Erla Maschinenwerk of <a href="/wiki/Leipzig" title="Leipzig">Leipzig</a>.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

They also produced the <a href="/wiki/Deutsche_Forschungsanstalt_f%C3%BCr_Segelflug" title="Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Segelflug">DFS</a>-designed <a href="/wiki/Messerschmitt_Me_163" class="mw-redirect" title="Messerschmitt Me 163">Me 163</a> <i>Komet</i>, the first <a href="/wiki/Rocket" title="Rocket">rocket</a>-powered design to enter service. Messerschmitt relied heavily on slave labour to produce much of the parts needed for these aircraft during the second half of World War II; these parts were assembled in an enormous tunnel system in <a href="/wiki/Sankt_Georgen_an_der_Gusen" title="Sankt Georgen an der Gusen">Sankt Georgen an der Gusen</a>, <a href="/wiki/Austria" title="Austria">Austria</a>. Slave labour was provided by inmates of the brutal <a href="/wiki/KZ_Gusen" class="mw-redirect" title="KZ Gusen">KZ Gusen</a> I and Gusen II camps, and by inmates from nearby <a href="/wiki/Mauthausen_concentration_camp" title="Mauthausen concentration camp">Mauthausen concentration camp</a>, all located near the St. Gorgen quarries. 40,000 inmates from Spain, Italy, Poland, Slovenia, France, Russia, Hungarian Jews and twenty other nationalities were murdered during the production of these aircraft at <a href="/wiki/KZ_Gusen" class="mw-redirect" title="KZ Gusen">KZ Gusen</a>. Messerschmitt officials maintained barracks at the concentration camp to oversee the work being done by the inmates. Messerschmitt, and its executive <a href="/wiki/Willy_Messerschmitt" title="Willy Messerschmitt">Willy Messerschmitt</a> also occupied the famed <a href="/wiki/Villa_Tugendhat" title="Villa Tugendhat">Villa Tugendhat</a> in <a href="/wiki/Brno" title="Brno">Brno</a>, <a href="/wiki/Czech_Republic" title="Czech Republic">Czech Republic</a>, designed by <a href="/wiki/Mies_van_der_Rohe" class="mw-redirect" title="Mies van der Rohe">Mies van der Rohe</a> and <a href="/wiki/Lilly_Reich" title="Lilly Reich">Lilly Reich</a> in the 1920s; the Messerschmitt aircraft factory office and the <a href="/wiki/Gestapo" title="Gestapo">Gestapo</a> occupied the property during the war. </p><p>Messerschmitt had its share of poor designs as well; the <a href="/wiki/Messerschmitt_Me_210" title="Messerschmitt Me 210">Me 210</a>, designed as a follow-on to the 110, was an aerodynamic disaster that almost led to the forced dissolution of the company. The design problems were eventually addressed in the <a href="/wiki/Messerschmitt_Me_410" class="mw-redirect" title="Messerschmitt Me 410">Me 410</a> <i>Hornisse</i>, but only small numbers were built before all attention turned to the 262. Later in the war, in competition with the <a href="/wiki/Junkers_Ju_390" title="Junkers Ju 390">Junkers Ju 390</a> and the unbuilt, February 1943-initiated <a href="/wiki/Heinkel_He_277" title="Heinkel He 277">Heinkel He 277</a>, Messerschmitt also worked on a heavy <i><a href="/wiki/Amerika_Bomber" class="mw-redirect" title="Amerika Bomber">Amerika Bomber</a></i> design, the <a href="/wiki/Messerschmitt_Me_264" title="Messerschmitt Me 264">Me 264</a>, which flew in prototype form — with three prototype airframes built, the first of which flew in December 1942 — but was too late to see combat. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Post-war">Post-war</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Messerschmitt&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Post-war"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>For ten years after <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>, the company was not allowed to produce aircraft.
