My bad, the A-12 was the CIA's OXCART, the YF-12 was an interceptor version for the Air Force of which all of three were made, and then the SR-71 evolved from that.

 

As for A-11 that may have been due to Lyndon Johnson misreading All Weather Interceptor as A11 Weather Interceptor. The A-12 designator was originally used as A stood for Article or Archangel (the follow up to the Angel program that produced the U-2) and 12 merely indicated it was the 12th design they'd come up with in that program. Being the CIA they could call it whatever they wanted I imagine.

The 109 has always been one of my favorite WWII fighters, for its time it was very advanced.

The Bf 109T was originaly planned for use on a german aircraft carrier, but the carrier was never completed and instead it ended up serving where?
