    Smile Pictures of BF109G Erla-Haube?

    Hi all.

    Does anybody have any close-up photos of the ERLA-HAUBE canopies fitted to BF109 G-10s? In particular, I'm interested in whether they had the canopy handles, knobs and internal diagonal wires- (what were those for, anyway?)- that the reguar canopies had?

    Thanks!
    vh

    Great work Igor.
    VH, if you aren't in a rush, I can post some pics of wartime vintage, of close-ups of the Erla canopy. I'm trying to catch up on correspondance etc after being away for a week!
    The radio mast could be integral to the canopy, or on the fuselage, and yes, the canopy locking/release handle was as per the 'standard' canopy. The diagonal lines were red, used for aircraft on bombing operations normally, to give a visual angle against the horizon.

    Excellent pictures Igor, loved their details
    They shall be my finest warriors,
    these men who give of themselves to me.
    Like clay I shall mould them,
    and in the furnace of war forge them.
