I'm not certain if you are serious or not, Ruy. But, if you are, please look at Artie's response to my question about the K-2 production line, which was that this was actually G14 production. It appears that there were only ever 1 or 2 K-2s ever built. And, they were a totally different chicken than was the K-4. In fact, I think I made mention of this in an earlier comment.

All the best,
George

ah, was afraid I missed something in the thread (poor excuse for a moderator).

Well at least the world is back to what it was before this shock!

I have the Flugzeug-Programm Nr. 227 Ausgabe 1 dated 15.12.1944. This give a detailed view of the actual production of new Bf 109s up 30.11.1944 and scheduled deliveries from 01.12.1944. It is broken down on sub-types as well as production facilities. I have added some comments to conversions (Umbau).

If you are interested, send me an e-mail to hafstenb@c2i.net, and I will forward the list to you.
I will not be at home from thursday 15.09.05 to Sunday 18.09.05.

Please forgive me both for intervening this late into this very interesting thread (great thanks to ArtieBob for sharing his valuable info) and also to appear numb, absolutely worse than Ruy (no offense intended, pal )...

My only question is that, while I understand perfectly about the row on Mtt G-14/AS to be shifted above, I don't see any other line ending with the total value of "107", so where are such data?

Further, to avoid misunderstandings and to help numb people like me, could Artie modify and correct his own table (no need to make a new post, suffice only to replace the file to be downloaded) according to his statements above?

Sorry to ask, but I would really prefer the author to compile his own corrections*, instead of a "do it yourself" job...

Thanks again for the data and the informative discussion.

* also, a footnote about K-2s being G-14s instead would be useful to avoid misunderstandings, especially if this list will start to circulate in the net...IMHO

Veltro,

Must admit that I had the same question, since somehow shifting the row didn't solve the problem.

Artie,

If you have used Excel or another format, please attach the original file-type, that way you will be certain that we will see what you intended us to see.

This continuous to be a learning experience for all of us, so I hope you won't feel offended by my comments!!

[ArtieBob]

Sorry, I was in a hospital Tue/Wed and have been out of the loop. Comments are absolutely pertinent, I have already corrected the table. Since I was technologically challenged in posting the original attachment, can someone confirm whether I can replace the original attachment with the corrected table (which is to me the best solution and the errors will no be floating around the ether) or will I have to add it as a new entry? If the latter is the case, once posted, could the moderator delete the original attachment?


Best regards,

Artie Bob

[Ruy Horta]

First Artie, I really hope all is well with you and your loved ones.

As for the file.

Easiest way would be for you to delete the original attachement and post the corrected file.

If my help is needed, just holler.

[ArtieBob]

Third try,

This copy of the attachment has all the typo errors corrected that I could find, the first has already been mentioned the data did not line up with the correct heading for the G 14 AS Mttr., etc. I also found one missing piece of data for Erla G-6s in Jul 44. Hopefully, this will be all the corrections. Not to excuse my typos, but this was extracted from 70 pages of data with about 20,000 fields. It all begins to run together after a while.

Best regards,

Artie Bob

[veltro]

Now it makes a lot more sense to me! Thanks Artie for taking the time to post the corrected version and let me wish all the best to you, in case your hospital stay isn't connected with your job...

Thankx for the effort Arti.
But, regarding K4 - 570000 – 571000 batch, from memory, somewhere i saw these come from Erla factory, im right?. Or those numbers come from K2/3 non builded.
