Historical background

The Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6 (early variant) played a key role on the fronts of World War II from 1943 onwards. It was used mainly by the Luftwaffe in combat over Europe, especially during massive aerial battles over Germany in defense against Allied bombers, as well as on the Eastern Front against Soviet air forces. This variant was characterized by the distinctive "bulges" (Beule) on the engine covers, a result of installing heavier armament – two 13 mm MG 131 machine guns. The Bf 109G-6 was widely used by many fighter units and considered the primary fighter of the German army until the end of the war.
