Re: Bf110C and D question: how many were prodused?
Evgeny,
A word of caution about the numbers produced for the C-2 and C-4. While working on the 'in detail' book on the 110 due out in May, it became apparent, using the information in the Petrick/Mankau book and the information from the Loss returns, that several aircraft in the C-2 block of W. Nr in Petrick/Mankau's book are actually given as C-4 in the loss records. The actual reason for this is not known 100%, but given that the C-2 had the MG-FF 20 mm. Kanonen, and the C-4 had the MG-FF/M, it is likely that during the production run of the C-2s the MG-FF/M became available, and so they were issued from the factory as C-4s, although the original W.Nr. allocated had them slated to be C-2s, and they retained that W. Nr.
A case of the original paperwork conflicting with the final issue of the aircraft.
