Re: Gunther Specht's Bf 109G-5/AS, W.Nr.110 064
Ferdinando,
Your photo clearly shows the desiccant capsule in the lateral windscreen panel, so this machine is a G-5. In fact, and IMHO, such capsules are the only clue for assertion of this subtype if the W.Nr. is not visible, especially if the Erla-Haube has been retrofitted (like Graf's G-5 of Stab/JG 11 on Graf & Grislawsi A pair of Aces).
As for the set of photos from Bundesarchiv, they are dated August 44 but this is clearly an error, since the third man is the Staffelkapitän of 4./JG 11, Gerhard Sommer, who was KIA on 12 May 44.
