Bf 109 G-10 130 xxx Batch
Hello Oberst
I was looking up about the Bf 109 G-10 in The Messerschmitt Bf 109 Part 2 by Lynn Ritger and here are several notes that you may find interesting in case that you are unaware of them. The Bf 109 G-10 was an attempt to produce a fighter with performance approaching that of the Bf 109 K-4 by attaching the DB 605 D to existing Bf 109 G-series airframes awaiting re-manufacture at repair centers. However, at least one batch of these aircraft were new builds by WNF at Diana. The fighters built by Messerschmitt at Regensburg can be identified by having the streamlined cowling bulge terminating nearly in line with the windscreen aft edge. They were fitted with standard size 660x160 millimeter main wheels and thus small wing bulges and usually the extended tail wheel oleo as well. I hope that you find this useful.
Horrido!
Leo
