The WWII "Messer-Spit"

A strange ME109 story....
I have read many books about WW2 as both my parents were in it. About 5 yrs ago, I was reading a book & it mentioned a version of the ME109 called the Emil. This was apparently an acrobatic version. In all the dozens of books I had read, I had never heard of the Emil. Why was this strange? I was about to leave home to go the funeral of a friend...named Emile. That is not the end of the story. When I was at the funeral I found out that Emile had been in the air force...& did acrobatic flying.
Go figure....
