Re: Bf 109G fin
Harrison,
ALL the tall tails were made from wood!
I have the copy of a Rechlin report from December 1944, which deals with technical in-service problems with these fins. The first accident with such a fin due to technical problems was referenced there as "Spring 1944" with I./JG 3.
Mentioned is also a technical instruction to the Luftwaffe dated 18.Aug.44 to improve the servicing of these wooden fins, which was not properly performed before.
