My final addition to this tall fin discussion. Every Bf 109 G-6 supplied to the Finnish Air Force was inspected in Finland and a proper receptance document written. This document contained certain notes concerning non-standard technical aspects (comparing these G-6 versions to the earlier G-2, which our Air Force had used since March 1943). The incpectors have written: "This aircraft has a tall fin made of plywood". For me this is quite clear indication of the material and I will not use my time for further research, because I am happy with my present very limited knowledge.
Still one interesting point: our Air Force was not happy with this wooden fin and started to change it in most of the aircraft to an old low aluminium fin already during the war.
