Re: Bf109 - Film 1944/45
Marc,
I think you may have made an identification error in calling the Bf 109, white 3, a Bf 109 G-10. To me, this aircraft is more likely a Bf 109 G-6AS/U2. If you look very closely, you will see the unmistakable external GM1 power boost delivery tube beneath the cockpit. According to my files GM1 was simply not found on late war production Bf 109s. By a process of elimination, that leaves us with the G-6AS. You can see a much better photo of this external tube on another G-6 shown in Monogram Close-Up 6, page 20. It is probable this arrangement was employed as a precaution due to the volatile nature of GM1.
