Bf 109 H in service with 5.(F)/123

[Graham Boak]

I don't think a greatly extended inner wing can be regarded as either. It may be that the prototype had only a "bodged" extension between standard wings and standard fuselage pick-ups: this would perhaps explain some of the severe limitations on manoeuvre described. A production version would have required strengthened root attachments, at least.

I think this aircraft also had an Me 209 tail?
