Re: Late-war Bf 109 question
Hi Skyraider3D
Bert Wendler dont said me anything more. He was flying some 100 m behind his Schwarmführer (Gärtner) and saw the Messerschmitt enter into a dive and explode a few seconds later. A typical fuselage tank explosion. The 109 was transformed into flying remains.
The "birdcage cockpit canopy" seems really impossible at this period of the war. The whole I./JG 300 was flying Bf 109 with DB 605 AS and D engines - an all the planes were fitted with Erla "Vollsichthauben".
All the best from France - Jean-Yves
