Bf-109's in IV/JG51 in Jun43

Did the IV/JG51 still have a mixture of Bf-109's in their Gruppe in the first half of June 1943? I know that the Fw-190's had been introduced at the beginning of 1943 but is it possible that they were still flying Bf-109's as well.

Bf 109s in IV./JG 51 in June 1943

Hi Nokose

According to both strength returns and loss list information that I have seen, IV./JG 51 completed conversion to the Fw 190 in February 1943 and remained solely on this type until July 1943, when it went onto the Bf 109. No Bf 109 fighters are listed for the Gruppe in-between those months that I am aware of.

Horrido!
