EZ 42 in FW 190

[Roger Gaemperle]

I couldn't find the photo of the Me 109 G cockpit with the EZ42 anymore, but I remember it very well. It might be that I haven't copied it as I was focused on the Me 262.

So, while I don't have a photographic proof for the use of the EZ42 in the Me 109 right now, I have at least a proof that it was intended to be used in the Bf 109 K-4 (see attachement: report about a visit of Messerschmitt personnel of the Askania company regarding the EZ42). I am sure that the people at the E-Stelle Rechlin and Askania had checked the dimensions in a Me 109 first before they made this decision and even started to print Bf 109 specific data sheets for the EZ42 adjustment switch box. By the way, the Bf 109 is also mentioned in the manual of the EZ42.

To summarize: There is no doubt that the EZ42 could have been installed in a Me 109. To prove that it actually was needs photographic evidence (which I have seen but unfortunately cannot present to you as I haven't copied it).
