Re: 109G-6 or later with 20mm-Gondolas in the East?

Hello George and Nick
yes, Lipfert’s memoirs are good, IMHO they are one of the very best WWII fighter pilot’s memoirs I have read.

Hello George
IIRC FAF didn’t get any of MK 108 armed G-6s, was its designation G-6/U4 or something like that. So G-6/R6 was handy against Il-2s but as I wrote Finns were so badly outnumbered by Soviet fighters that it was decided that those gun gondolas must go.
