Re: Bf 109 H WNr.110073
Thanks for the additional detail on the cabin pressurisation of the G-5. I'm a little surprised, therefore, that the G-5 canopy is not clearly distinguishable from the standard.
It would not surprise me to find that the V49 was not pressurised. Its role would be entirely to get engine hours up on the new engine, with the high altitude regime studied later. Presumably the head armour could easily be restored, although perhaps this depends upon just why they took it off in the first place?
It shouldn't have surprised anyone that the high-altitude engines require a larger cooler. Or is the timing just in advance of the appearance of AS/D engiines?
