Fliegerzielstaffel 50

Anyone who knows if Fliegerzielstaffel 50 in Norway were equipped with the Me109 G-2 variant?

Hello

Of what I know from Fliegerziel-units, the Bf109 G-2 seems quite modern compared to the other, older types of aircraft like He111 P's, Do17's etc.

On the other hand, everything is possible in the Luftwaffe.

Best regards, Marcel

They are not currently digitised but Bundesarchiv files RL 2-III/881 and /882 give very detailed breakdwons of the aircract held by Luftwaffe units in 1944. I only took notes for units in Italy so I can't say for certain how much help these files would be for Fliegerzielgeschwader.

Nick,

Thanks for the suggestions in BA-MA, does the files include more information as tactical numbers and Wnr. ?

I have earlier tried to find the identity of the crashlanded Me109G in Norway sometime around august-november 1944. (http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showthread.php?t=45329&) Perhaps the G-2 machine belonged to another unit as Fz.-St. 50 than JG 5 as I originally thought.

No, but (for the units I have notes on) it does include details of sub-types. For example on 31 August 1944, 2./NAGr. 11's strength included a Bf 109 G-5/U2/R2 and five Bf 109 G-8/R5.

I have complete transcriptions of files RL 2 III/881 and 882. They are very detailed, but do not include the Fliegerziel units. Sorry.
