Re: Field conversion of Bf 109 F-4 to G-2 or just change of the cowling?

Csaba,

You wrote "with the small inlets for additional cooling of the spark plugs" .. this is actually the reason they modified the F cowlings on field.
Andreas Brekken already explain it in his "Luftwaffe in the Far North.
You can find the same on many Erg.JG, schools and other JGr. using "old" F models.
Engine was the DB 601 (E or N since some F-2 got the modifiction too).
The reason for that .. Spark problems.

BR, Franck.
