Erich Hartmann's Bf 109 G-10
Hi there Gang,

On 5 September, Flavio of LEMB Forum stumbled on two hitherto unknown pics showing Erich Hartmann's last mount, an Erla built Bf 109 G-10. This machine was until then only known through the well known shot showing a tired but smiling Hartmann in front of this machine as he was greeted for his 350th kill - if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks to Peter who uploaded them on 8 September over on LEMB, you can find now two larger pics I've chosen to put in the late war Bf 109 data base:

The second one is especially interesting as it shows beyond the Erla built G-10 features also the tulip painted between the spinner and the engine cowlings.

Any idea about where, when and which W.Nr. this machine sported?

Cheers
Marc
