Bf 109G-6 WNr. 164 979
Does any reader have definitive information about the service of Bf 109G-6 WNr. 164 979? There seems to be a contradiction in the record of this aircraft, as follows:
According to USSTAF, Adv. HQ, Air Service Cmd., Director of Tech. Service, Tech. Intell., Rept. A-68, dated 28.09.44, the fuselage and engine only of the crashed Bf 109G-6 WNr. 164 979 was found at St. André-de l'Eure, France. The marking "yellow band 20 in. wide" [JG 11?] was recorded.
In contradiction to the above notation, Stenman, Mersu, p. 358, records the Bf 109G WNr. 164 979 N S + X Q in Finnish service between 28.06.44 and 23.03.53. It was registered as MT-463.
Most probably a typographical error is at play here. But does any reader know what the mistake might be and the true service career of WNr. 164 979?
