UNFRIENDLY SKIES:
Messerschmitt Bf 110G of NJG 3 ready for another night intercept mission against RAF Bombers.
HUNTER AND THE HUNTED:
Night fighters on both sides were active at night and both sides faced the same changing weather conditions over Europe, at times playing cat & mouse searching for RAF bombers over the Reich, the Bf 110's and watching for the marauding RAF Mosquito and Beaufighter roaming the night sky searching for them...
FILE PHOTOGRAPH:
Bf 110 lacks the Lichtenstein FuG 220b aerial array, but the aircraft still carries a punch w/2 x 30mm BK 108 cannons w/135 rpg and 2 x 20mm MG 151 w/300rds. port guns, 350rds. starboard guns and updated 1 x MG81Z twin-mounted 7.92mm machine gun w/800rds. some sources list 2,000rds.
Aircraft is equipped with flame dampers over the engine exhaust...are you ready for the German word
here it is.
