Historical information

The Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6 (Gustav), particularly in its late version, was widely used by Germany during World War II between 1943 and 1945. This aircraft served on most fronts: from the Eastern theater, through the defense of the Reich, to combat in North Africa and over the Mediterranean Sea. The Bf 109 G-6 (late) was characterized by improved cockpit armor, additional protection, and the introduction of heavier armament – including the MG 151/20 cannons in underwing gondolas and 13 mm MG 131 machine guns above the engine. This was a response to the increasingly frequent appearance of heavy Allied bombers and modern escort fighters.
