Re: What is a 109 G14 without MW 50?
Hello!
For whatever it is worth.
In July, 1944 Finnish Air Force received one Bf 109 G-6 which had MW-50 tank installed in fuselage. The plane was returned to back - German ferry pilot brought "normal" Bf 109 G-6 substitute and flew the other one back. This is apparently the only Bf 109G-6 flown to FinnAF by Germans. Others were ferried by Finnish pilots.
What makes the case interesting is that there might be original paperwork archived for the returned Bf 109 with MW. Perhaps the document would say something about the subtype? I have not searched for those papers but know one person who has.
Cheers,
Kari
