Re: Is this a 109F?

Years ago I recall reading about this particular aircraft in Armand van Ishoven's "Messerschmitt Bf 109 at War" (Ian Allen) and although I can't remember the author's comments in their entirety, I believe the large white letter painted on the aft most portion of the aircraft's fuselage ("H") was the first or second name of the aircraft's designated test pilot.

BTW, this aircraft was a modified G-4 within the 14851 batch...a batch that included over a dozen other G-4s modified as two-seaters (G-12).
