Bf109G-3 List
 

I am trying to make detailed Bf109G-3 database. As far as I know, only 50 G-3s were produced and I have found some details of the 16 given below. If you can make additions and corrections, I will be glad.

Thank you.

Were '109s in the 271XX row also G-3s?

Re: Bf109G-3 List
 

Hi Denes,

The 50 or so build G-3 all have a 'Werkenr' between 16251 - 16300, all built by Mtt. Regensburg during Jan and Feb 1943. The G-3 was a specialy built high altitude fighter with a pressurized cabin and were delivered to 11./JG 2 and 11./JG 26, as well to I./JG 1 which became II.JG 11 a few days later.
The 27xxx block were G-6 types built by Erla-Werke Leipzig. It has to be noted that within this block there were also a few G-5.

This may, or may not, be of interest to you, but the book by Peter Schmoll notes the following for the assembly of 109G-3s at Regensburg.
16251-16253, CO+ZX-CO+ZZ, G-3, 1/1943
16254-16279, SG+JA-SG+JZ, G-3, 1,2/1943
16280-16300, SP+EA-SP+EU, G-3, 2/1943

Good luck with your efforts, batura.

Thank you George. They will sure be helpful cause I did not have these numbers.

Re: Bf109G-3 List
 

Dear members

In the LEMB stkfz list I have

JV+KG wnr162405 as a G-3 source JG53 by mr.Prien

I think this is a type on the wnr.

Has some one the correct data ?

Regards Peter van Gogh

Re: Bf109G-3 List
 

Hello,

Both data on the G-3 20225 and G-3 162405 are probably mistakes done in the printing of the books. I have contacted Mr. Caldwell about 20225. As soon as I get a reply, I will post the details here.

Regards,

Batur

Re: Bf109G-3 List
 

Those are both G-6s.

162405 lost with Stab I./JG 53 in Feb-44.
20225 as you listed but a G-6.
