Messerschmitt Bf 109G-6 "Mersu over Finland"

The Messerschmitt Bf 109 remained a standard fighter aircraft of the German Luftwaffe throughout the Second World War.
And not only for the Luftwaffe was this type the backbone but also the equipment of many Axis countries.
This was also true for Finland, which as a German ally was pushed into the war simply because the Soviet aggressor had contemptuously seized part of Finnish territory in the so-called Winter War.

The Mersu, as the Bf109Gs were colloquially known in Finland, were the most powerful aircraft owned by the Finnish military for many years after the end of the war, well into the 1950s.
