History:
The Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-14 was a refined late-war variant of Germany’s most famous fighter, aimed at standardising numerous field and factory upgrades made to the Bf 109G series. Entering service in mid-1944, it retained the powerful DB 605A engine, with many examples using the DB 605AM variant equipped with MW-50 water-methanol injection for short bursts of increased power during combat.
Externally similar to late G-6 models, the G-14 featured a taller fin with a wooden rudder and improved visibility through the Erla Haube canopy. Some high-altitude interceptors included pressurised cockpits. Armament typically consisted of a 20mm MG 151/20 cannon firing through the propeller hub and two 13mm MG 131 machine guns above the engine, with optional underwing gun pods or bombs depending on mission needs.
The G-14 was deployed on all fronts—from intercepting Allied bombers over Western Europe to engaging Soviet aircraft on the Eastern Front. It was flown by many Luftwaffe aces, including Erich Hartmann, the highest-scoring fighter pilot in history. Despite its performance, the G-14 could not reverse the tide of war against increasingly superior Allied numbers and technology. Nevertheless, it remained a symbol of German aviation engineering during the final phases of WWII.
