Bf 109 G-10 130 xxx Batch

Hi guys

Many thanks to D'Amico for correcting the error included in the reference that I mentioned regarding that the Bf 109 G-10 sub-type were rebuilds of earlier fuselages. I will take this opportunity to ask him if the inclusion of Bf 109 G-10/AS fighters in such references as the loss list included in the Prien JG 1/JG 11 volume are incorrect? The best known example would probably be:

24 December 1944: Hauptmann Erich Woitke, Gruppenkommandeur of III./JG 1, killed in Bf 109 G-10/AS "Grey 20" (W.Nr. 490 723) in aerial combat with Spitfire fighters, Aachen area, 100%

Or might these be examples of the few Erla built machines that were fitted with the DB 605 AS engine? Regarding Bf 109 G-10 fighters that flew with JG 27 I do have access to a lost list of this unit in which this sub-type is mentioned. Any corrections to existing errors is gratefully accepted.

Horrido!

Leo
