bf109 .. why two names for same aircraft?

Thanks Butch I stand corrected...Never seen one before.


PPl argue it because there is no definitive clearcut answer it seems. Think about it..... they built some 30,000 of these planes only 60 years ago and the absolute provable answer may be lost to history.

Anyone wanna talk about the double tagged G10, release date G14, K4 controversy?

Yup, all G-10's were repaired/upgraded G-2...6 series fighters that been damaged in the front lines and sent back to factory.

K- designation came from word "Königfisher" and all K-series had tailhook.
