MF-109???
MF=MASSEY-FERGUSON. Tractors with a Perkins engine normally. They would be more like the Spitfire and merlin of tractors while the 109 is...Deutz?

Translating names is a bad habbit imo, unless you have to because the alphabet is different.

It was an unintentional translation, lol. I was trying to recall an article id read months ago, and was too lazy to re-read, lol.

Considering the timeframe and the numbers produced, it would more likely be Lanz.

If you can find a greal load of documents from both sides referring to it as that, and if you can find thousands of pilots on both sides who called it that, then go right ahead.

No. The official German Designation was Ta.
