Re: Bf 110 G-4 into service
Hello guys,

Most likely the first G-4's were transferred to frontline nightfighter units no sooner than January 1943:

In the NJG 1 the first G-4's arrived in January (Stab NJG 1) and February (the four Gruppen), in my database the first Bf110G-4 accident/crash I could find, is Bf110G-4 (4867) of the Überf.Kdo. Luftzeug Gruppe 4 on 29th January 1943, 100% loss, 2 killed. This neatly fits with known deliveries to the nightfighter units and the dates in Mankau & Petrick.

Best regards, Marcel
