My name is Kuba, it's my first post here, let me say Hello to all of you Well, it was me asking about this G-10 polish wreck. Now, some facts has been published, story is clearer now. After the first article about wreck was published some informations arrived. First - the subversion - it was G-10 built by WNF in U4 standart. It was flown by I/JG 52. In first article in "Skrzydlata Polska" author has given us the date of crash - 2.III.1945. It is wrong, in documents, the day of loss is the 7'th of march 1945. Bf 109 G-10 WNr. 612723, air combat, damage 100%, location Sloste. Later very interesting article appeared in "Skrzydlata". They identified pilot of that 109, they wrote a story, it was something like that: "The plane was flown by Gunther Capito, ex-bomber pilot. He flew with Erich Hartmann himself that day. Once, they were attacked by soviet P-39. Hartmann ordered his wingman to break-up quickly but Capito flew this 109 like he used to do with bombers. Soon the soviet Aircobra shot him down. Pilot bailed out. Hartmann attacked the P-39 and also scored one." that is the story of G-10 published shortly after the first article. I don't know if Hartmann really flew that day (7.III.1945) but it sounds real. What about the remains of G-10 shown in article - there's a wingtip with a green and brown paint, some acces covers, specialy that of compass hatch with a part of black number identified as 2 or 7, ailerons mass balance and many details. The oil tank cover as I posted before looks like a cover of smaller oil tank from 605 A engine. It lacks it's paint, maybe it is part of another Messerschmitt or maybe the smaller oil tank was installed in that plane? The engine recovered is D-type (WNr. 11900069 or 59). That's all I've got there. Please contact me via e-mail, if anybody is interested. thanks! Best regards Kuba Plewka |
