Re: Top Bf 109 aces

Good morning Stig & Peter,

thanks for yours answers which are of great help.
That means all those who were the top aces of their country and scored the majority of their kills in the Bf109, scored their majority of their in kills in the Bf109G with the exeption of Boskic and Horn for whom such info is lacking.

I'll keep at it!

Cheers,

Michael

Re: Top Bf 109 aces

Good morning,

for Safet Boskic I found four Bf109E claims
  • 16,11,41
  • 11,6.42
  • 11,6.42
  • 6,7.42
and five Bf109G claims
  • 16,8.42
  • 25,8.42
  • 26,8.42
  • 30,9.42
  • 29,10.42
His total is considered to be 13: are four air kills missing or does that total include his three unconfirmed plus one destroyed on the ground ?

Kind regards,

Michael

Re: Top Bf 109 aces

Good afternoon Gentlemen,

currently I'm working through OSPREY's "Jagdgeschwader 52" by John Weal. Already on page 4 he makes a statement about what Bf109 subtype Erich Hartmann flew on 8May1945: "...At least one offical document states quite categorically that JG 52 was equipped entirely with the Bf109G-14 (of various models), and was earmarked for conversion to K-4's.... But there are at least two known photographs of what are, undeniably, the remains of a K-4 amonst the wreckage abandoned at Deutsch-Brod carrying [a tulip leaf decoration]."

Kind regards,

Michael
