British aircraft was returning to base at over 9 km. The Ta 152 were flying lower than Mosquito, so Willy Reschke increased engine's rpm and started climbing. After one minute he reported over the radio that he was beginning an attack. When Reschke was trying to catch Mosquito's silhouette in his gunsight, the Ta 152 shook and slowed down suddenly. It appeared that the 3rd gear of supercharger (or the second stage of compression, I don't remember exactly) stopped working. The Mosquite flew away quite easily and German pilot decreased engine's rpm and returned to base.
Regards

| No one has mentioned the Spitfire, which after all holds the record for shooting down an enemy aircraft at extream altitude. | |

Very good point. | |

Country:  | Hi guys,
even though I know this thread is a discussion about Ta152, I have to show you another photo of Willi Reschke´s on 29/8/44 crash landed Bf109G from another point of view. Note the engine cover- all the sources, even Willi Reschke in his book speak about G-6 version, but there are no ''Beulen'' on the engine... so it seems to be G-14AS version

| Great picture Seesul, thanks ! 
PS: The 109 on the picture is a G-6/AS.

a friend of mine, really crazy Bf-fan, says it´s a G-14AS version. Are you sure with your G-6AS version?
Anyway, I´m going to send a letter with this photo to Willi Reschke today and let you know his answer as soon as I get it...

Country: | ...and BTW, this picture comes from that girl that is on the left side and still living. I was told she has more pictures yet but doesn´t know where as she was afraid of communists till ´89 and was hidding them everywhere because of svastika. Hope she will find more of them yet...

| Hi Seesul,
Yes I'm confident thats a G-6/AS, everything indicates it to be so, nothing indicates otherwise. This also explains why Reschke speaks of a G-6.

Because if you are, there are bulges present on this Bf 109G in the picture. I have circled them in red.
