-The Bf109G is a type developed after the Allied forces have been rolling out new aircraft one after another, replacing the old F-type in less than a year.
-Considerations for development include improving speed, firepower, bulletproof equipment, putting a pressurized cabin into practical use, and creating kits with special equipment to suit a wide range of missions.
-In 1941, three months after the start of development, the aircraft itself inherited the aerodynamically completed F-type as it was, with only minor changes to the engine, internal equipment, and details, and perhaps because of the less labor required for repair. In October, the advanced mass production G-0 was completed.
-In 1943, it became clear that the bulletproof equipment of Allied military aircraft had improved and that the MG17 (7.92mm) rifle on the nose had no effect.
-So, a type that was strengthened from MG17 machine gun to MG131 (13mm) machine gun was created.
-The high-altitude fighter with pressurized cabin was called G-5, and the medium-altitude fighter with non-pressurized cabin was called G-6.
-Characteristically, a circular bulge protrudes greatly from the top of the nose to clear the empty cartridge case of the machine gun.
-The G-6 was also produced in more than 10,000 aircraft, partly due to intensified wars and the peak of aircraft production.
-This is the highest production volume of all Bf109 models.
-But the G-6 did not take much time to be outdated.
-Also, the development of the successor was delayed, so the G-6 was quickly regenerated in a more convenient way.
-The engine was replaced with a DB605AM with an MW50 power boost system and used 96 octane C3 fuel.
-In addition to newly produced G-14 models, there are many types of regenerators from G-6, and there are many types of external models.
-Ella Haubé and the large vertical tail were the most standard features.
