Re: Bf109 Neubau 1/44 to 3/45
I guess the documents are to "old" and wrong or incomplete in many parts --- for example the Erla K's and G-5 again.
Fact: there was planned to built by Erla the K - 2 ... but: the plan was from November 1943. In January 1944 nobody spoke about the K - 2 but the K-2/R3. In May the complete K-2/R3 production plan was shelved.
Fact: there was planned to built by Erla the K-3 and K-3/R2. The plan was from December 1943 ... but in January 1944 during a conference of "Arbeitsgruppe 109" was said "Sorry, was an mistake. Isn't the K-3 but the the K - 1 and isn't the K-3/R2 but the K-1/R2." But the production plan was shelved like the other K - plans too.
Fact: from the K-4/R6 the Erla factory delivered for sure 1 a/c - in February 1945, known by W.Nr. and BAL date published at first by Prien/ Rodeike and result of my researches.
Fact: there was planned not to built the G-5/R2 ... but: in January 1944. In July and August 1944 were built G-5/R2/AS --- in Antwerpen they got the AS - engines.
Independent from this and other mistakes it's an interesting list ... the 295 G-6 built in November 1944 and the 25 G-14 were sold to RLM as G-14 (wasn't an difference in price) but it seems that most of this "G-14" were in technical sight G-6 because there were problems with delivery of MW50 device. Some of this "G-14" were found in ANR.
Best wishes
