Steve,
Thanks for your informations regarding the 610 xxx - 612 xxx production blocks.

Oberst,
The "97" on the rudder of W.Nr 166 224 was appliedby the US unit which reported all Luftwaffe planes captured or discovered after crashing.

Cheers
Marc

Hey thanks for that. I also meant to write G-6, don't know why I wrote G-14. Sorry for the confussion.

97 is published in Horst Serie of Aero Journal

Ahhh thanks. It was also published in the book ' Model Art 290, Messerschmitt Bf109G/K '.

Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source
 

I have this publication, great one

Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source
 

Yes it is a very nice book. I have 43 Luftwaffe books, with my favorites being JaPo - Bf 109 of JG52 in Deutsch Brod, JaPo - Bf 109G-10/U4, & Messerschmitt Bf109 F, G, and K. An Illustrated Study. BTW, I justed ' liked ' your facebook page. Very nice content.

In regards to the white outlined Hakenkreuze on Rosemarie, Me 109G-10/U4 'black 1' W.Nr.610 583 of II./JG 52 also has the fabled white outlined Hakenkreuze. So it would seem that not all the WNF 610 XXX batches had only a Hakenkreuze w/o the white outline.

Hello Oberst,

Regarding your reference to Bf109G-10 WNr. 610583, 1+ Black, and its “fabled white outlined Hakenkreuze,” I thought I was fairly conversant with most of the late-war G-10’s serving with II./JG52. However, your WNr. is new to me. Could you possibly supply me with your source for this? I would love to correct my files with this new information.

Thanks in advance,

Steve Sheflin

Thank you Oberst for Like

Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source
 

Your Welcome.

Mr. Sheflin,
I believe the reference is in the book ' Aviation Elite 015 - Jagdgeschwader 52 'The Experten' '. There is also a fantastic foto of Erich Hartmann's Me 109G-10(14/AS?) doing a low head-on flyby of their foward airbase.
