Bf-109G-10 Response
from: Keith W.
Tomas, Thanks much for your timely response! I got off course from Mr.Prien & Rodeike's "Bf-109 F,G & K Series-An Illustrated Study" and assumed 'Erla=G-10/AS' and after looking through "Jagdgeschwader 300,Wilde Sau" volume 2, and seeing aircraft losses being described as 'Bf 109G-10/ASM...' well, the learning curve looked too steep!! When will the G-6(volume 1!) be coming? Again, many thanks on your response and on a superior product!!
