Historical background of the Messerschmitt Bf109G-6

The Messerschmitt Bf109 is one of the most famous German fighter aircraft of World War II. The G-6 version, introduced into service in 1943, was known for its more powerful armament and pilot armor. The aircraft took part in operations on all fronts of the conflict, from Western Europe, through Italy, to the Eastern Front. Its distinctive feature was the bulges on the engine cowling, called “beule” – made necessary to increase space for new MG 131 13mm machine guns.
