Re: Me109G-10 Dual Production Plates

Documentary evidence that Rasmussen found proves that only about fifty G-10s produced by Erla were equipped with the DB 605 AS due to an interruption of the supply of engines, and that even didn't happen at the start of production. That three of those were among the Italian-manned Bf 109s of ANR found abandoned in Orio al Serio airfield, contributed to spread (at least to me and then) the wrong assumption that the G-10/AS did exist. It simply wasn't so. I do reckon it and corrected my assumptions once that was proved wrong.
You confuse me, Veltro. You said that about 50 G-10s were equipped with the DB 605 AS engine, which should make those aircraft G-10ASs. How then could the G-10AS not exist?

Anyway, a very interesting discussion.
