Re: Bf 109G-10 130xxx Batch
Hello guys,
unfortunately there might be some problems with G10/AS at Jagdgeschwader 1. All G-10 reported in III./JG 1 NVM are regular Erla G-10 only, no /AS or /R6.
There are two mistakes in the reports, one is Woitkes loss in a G14. Interestingly Woitkes loss was not reported from III. Gruppe, but from the Geschwader itself. We can assume, that the Geschwder did not own the Lebenslaufakte of the a/c. This is perhaps the reason for misinterpreting a G10 as a G-14 (IMHO no hint for a G10/AS).
The other error ist the loss of a G10, WNr. 785.080, which actually was a G14/AS. It crashed on a delivery flight from Regensburg to Rheine. And here we also can assume, that the Lebenslaufakte had not yet arrived at the Gruppe.
So we still have only that handfull of G10/AS at III./JG 300. They all are from a early batch of G10s with acceptance flight between 20. Oct. and
1. Dec. 1944.
