Country:  | KK the book you speak of is a combination of information from Will Rescheks book on JG 301 and the very old but excellent title from mongram publishers, the TA 152. Dietmar pretty much has done more of a tech book opn the Tank and he has done well. His operations is another story......still a book worth having for data on the fast a/c.

Country: | Did anyone else notice the radiation tag in the cockpit photo? I wonder what that's all about.

Country: | I didn't think asbestos was a radiation hazard, but it could be.

| I'd say its more likely due to the gauges having a radioactive paint applied to make the marks visible at night. Lots of American aircraft had it, I don't know about British, German, Japanese or anybody else though!
I know the tag is tied around a bundle of wires but perhaps that was just a good place to tie it

It was the workers (mostly women) who painted them that suffered. They'd keep the brush wet with their tounges as they were working, and injested the paint.

Country: | Very good guess either way. It is the best guess from what I have seen so far. I remember when I was in training to learn about the Blackhawk, I now remember seeing a radiocative warning on the instrument panel, but I can not remember why, nor do i remember asking why.

Country: | The Bf-109H was only meant to be an Interim High Alltitude fighter. It first flew (werk Nmr - 1570  on 5 Nov. 1943. The second prototype was the end of the program due to the development of the Ta-152H. Quote:
The Bf-109H-1s were evaluated by the Luftwaffe in France in early 1944. The trials went well, except for the fact that the aircraft demonstrated an unhealthy wing flutter in dives. Tests were conducted on some of these aircraft back in Augsburg, and in April 1944 one lost a wing during a dive. This apparently stalled the program, which was then presently cancelled in favor of the Focke-Wulf Ta-152H. A number of additional H-series subvariants were considered but never reached prototype stage.
