Slightly off track - the Germans did not seem to place the same level
of importance on recce that the Brits and USAF did. Me109s could (some
did) carry a camera in the aft fuselage like the recce P51s (F6?). A
lightened waxed Me109F or G would have a very good chance of
completing a recce pass on an in-and-out basis flown at max speed on a
curving descent or in-and-out at naught feet (prop tips above the wave
tips).



The Me-109G-8 recce variant had a camera in the aft fuselage and did
conduct some photo recon missions over the channel area in 1944.

Hi Keith,

Do you happen to know whether these were conducted at high level, low
level, or the max speed altitude for the 109G-8?

Cheers,

Dave
