Re: Bf 109G-12

I finally got my microfilm reader up and going so here are some more details from mopthly producion charts for 1944:
Apparently the conversions commenced in December 1943 when 8 Bf 109G-12 were delivered from Blohm & Voss. These were followed by 15 in January 1944, 24 in February, 25 in March, 34 in April, figures for May is missing, 30 in June, 30 in July, 30 in August, 32 in September, 36 in October and 45 in November. These figures represent the number of aircraft accepted by Luftwaffe Bauaufsichten (production controllers).
The number of aircraft produced was a bit higher, because these figures include aircraft not yet accepted. The production plan I mentioned in my previous posting was Nr. 227 and NOT 226.
The monthly production reports state that all G-12 aircraft were originally Bf 109G-4 or G-6. Aircraft for conversion were taken from repair stocks.
