Hi Mr Jolly,
Thanks for the mirror mod on the E-4 variant. Can I ask, also, for one for the G-6 variant? It was historical. I do not have a scanner, but for those of you with the reference to hand who do, you'll find pics of G-6s with mirrors mounted on the opening section of the Erla canopy in the JG 300 books - especially III./JG 300 circa July 44 engaged in home defence. According to one pilot quoted (Uffz Arnulf Meyer) they were an essential mod since they spent more time struggling to check their six for P-51s than they ever did looking forwards ....
If anyone does have the books and a scanner, pictures can be found on pages 175, 176 & 177 of volume 1 of the JG 300 Wild Sau chronicles. There is also reference to them with the Brandy Schwarm (9./JG 300)
So....please 8)
