Like Kutscha, I am curious about your comments on the Bf 109K-4. You seem to characterize the aircraft as unreliable with "many technical failures". Could you kindly elaborate for us? My curiousity is heightened because in general I have found much less documentation of this variant's flying characteristics and operational record compared to the other 109 versions.

Thanks,
Kenneth
