Bf 109 G-12

Not even later did the Bf 109 G-2 and G-4 completely lose their significance, as they served until the end of the war in training units. Some of

them were converted into two-seat Bf 109 G-12s by Blohm und Voss in Hamburg. These were also later converted from the Bf 109 G-6 and Bf 109 G-10.

A total of 280 Bf 109 G-12s were likely built, but how many were converted

from G-2s and G-4s is unknown. Some of the surviving airframes of the Bf

109 G-2 and G-4 were also used to convert to the higher derivatives of the

Bf 109G, and after being withdrawn from service with front-line Luftwaffe

units, Bf 109 G-4s continued to be supplied to Germany’s allies in 1944.

During their service with Luftwaffe training units, the majority of

Bf 109 G-12s, which had been converted from Bf 109 G-4, received

upgraded, higher-quality wheels standardized for Bf 109 G-6.
