New pic of a Bf 109 G-6 (in Ainring?), 1945
Dear all,
I just found this yet to be published shot of Bf 109 G-6; this plane rings a bell of one of the machines foud at Ainring in 1945 and published by Jerry Crandall, but as I don't have his JV 44's Fw 109 D-9 Schutzstaffel publication under my hand, I cannot be sure. Right or wrong? http://www.flickr.com/photos/wj_souza/3891450392/sizes/o/ The photo was taken by W.J. Souza, 20th Armored Division. Cheers Marc

Re: New pic of a Bf 109 G-6 (in Ainring?), 1945
As a WAG, unikum, I would say it is a Bf 109 G or some sort -- G-6AS, or G-10, or G-14AS -- because of the small hinged cover at the right side of the photo on the wing. I take that to be the cover for the MG 151/20 ammo box. And while that would be present for the above-named a/c, it would not be present for the Bf 109K, which had an engine-mounted MK 108 30mm gun.
But, I have been wrong before. All the best, George PS. Popping a grenade into the cockpit was a good way to disable an aircraft.

unikum,
With the square panel bulge on the fuselage present, it looks to be an Erla-built 109G-10. HTH, D.B.

No Marc, no books home. Only internet datas and I haven't classified all of them (miss from G-6 to K-4) yet! But I'm sure it will change, soon. Cheers, Franck.
