The Bf109 is one of the most famous fighter aircraft of the Luftwaffe during the Second World War, more than 33,000 copies were produced in various versions. The strengths of the Bf109 included its good climbing performance and its acceleration in a fall. The Bf109 G models produced from the summer of 1942 had some noticeable changes compared to their predecessor, the Bf109 F.
The G-5 / G-6 had a MK 151/20 mm cannon that fired through the engine. Two MG 131s were installed above the engine. The belt feed of the reinforced armament made an aerodynamic revision of the engine cover necessary, which gave the machine the characteristic dents. 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 one-piece design, which improved the visibility to the rear many times over. Another revision was made to the rudder unit with its heightening and the use of a higher and larger rudder. With 13,000 machines, the G-6 was the most popular type of the Bf109.
