Re: markings for Peter Duttmann Bf109G-14

Düttmann's Flugbuch for the period 5.Sept. 1943 (he notes his first time as a Schwarmführer) - 4.May 1945 does not list any entries as "Bf 109G-14," and it alternates between "Bf 109" and "Bf 109G", then "Bf 109G6" and... back to "Bf 109G". Werknummern are few, usually only the entry for a transfer flight. Once the Kennung is applied, he sticks with that. His 28.Jan. 1945 entry lists "Bf 109G10" 610538 (this one apparently became his final "schwarze 1"). By 16.March the type is listed as "Bf109g10U4" - a lot to squeeze into that narrow column.

In the course of all the usual assignments - free hunt, escort, low-level attack, alarmstarts, test and transfer flights, and being shot down so many times, he uses a variety of Kennummern, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 14, etc., and sometimes is using machines from other than the 5. Staffel, so you may want to specify 'what and when.'

Hope this clarifies, GRM

Re: markings for Peter Duttmann Bf109G-14

Thanks again GRM.
The caption on the photo I have says it's a G-14 in March 1945. It also says the WNr is 78..... , but that could be a guess, I suppose.
It could be a G-14AS (no beule), but then it could be a G-10. The photo is not that good. The gentleman I think is Duttmann is standing in front of the oil cooler, so I can't see if it's large or not. There does not appear to be an air intake near the bottom front corner of the canopy. Small wheel bulge in the wing. No antenna pole. The photo does not include the tail section.
The aircraft info at Asisbiz for this unit runs out in Dec 1944, and I have no other info sources for this.
