Above: Bf 109G-2s of II (left) and lll/JG 54 "Grunherz" (Green Heart) geschwader operating on the northern sector of the Eastern Front (probably at Silverskaya) in the summer of 1942. Relative merits of the Luftwaffe and Soviet fighters continue to be hotly debated. Right: The Bf 109G-14/U4 introduced a wooden tail, previous improvements being the clear-
view "Galland" hood and (five years late, and often incomplete) geared tabs on ailerons and/ or elevators.
