Description
The Bf109 is one of the Luftwaffe's most famous fighter aircraft during World War II; more than 33,000 examples were produced in a variety of versions. The Bf109's strengths included its good climbing performance and its acceleration when falling. The Bf109 G models produced from the summer of 1942 had some noticeable changes compared to the previous Bf109 F variant.
The G-5/G-6 had an engine-firing MK 151/20 mm cannon. Two MG 131s were installed above the engine. The belt feed of the increased armament necessitated an aerodynamic redesign of the engine cover, which gave the machine its characteristic bumps. The G-6 was used extensively on all fronts from March 1943 until the end of the war. Later production batches of the Bf109 G-6 received the fixed rear cabin glazing in a one-piece design, which improved rear visibility many times over. The vertical stabilizer underwent a further revision with its extension and the use of a higher and larger rudder. With 13,000 units, the G-6 was the most produced type of Bf109.
