Who'll be the first to identify this Fighter ?

Recommended Posts

Just found these pics on the website of an illustrator, and I wonder, who will be able

to identify this twin-engine fighter and it's constructor?

Damn - that was quick!

I had thought it was very much unknown. Here's the website of the artist - click on the pics to get large ones.

Hi Herr Olham... to make it easier I have studied most of the WW2 heavy fighters over the past 3 months so I know of this particular rarity... :drinks:

Such a beautiful aircraft, the G.1...

Theo Osterkamp, highest-scoring ace of the German Imperial Navy with 32 kills, also scored 6 more during WW2. His first kill was one of these very few Dutch G.I on 11 May 1940 while flying a Bf 109E, and as a WW1 veteran pilot, he was very surprised by the way some 20mm rounds could volatilize an aircraft ("Now we use guns to kill sparrows!")
