**************************

 Gordon Gollob was born on 16 June 1912 at Wien in Austria. He joined the Austrian Bundesheer in 1933 as an officer cadet. In 1934 he completed his flying training. By 1936 he was an instructor and commanded the Schulstaffel A. With the German annexation of Austria in 1938, Gollob joined the Luftwaffe with the rank of Oberleutnant. On 15 March 1939, Gollob joined ZG 76 flying Bf 110 Zerstrer twin-engined fighters. He was assigned to 3./ZG 76. He gained his initial victories over Poland and, later, during the Battle of the Heligoland Bight. Gollob was appointed Staffelkapitn of 3./ZG 76 on 8 April 1940. He was successful during the invasion of Norway gaining two victories, including a RAF Sunderland four-engined flying boat. He gained a further victory, a RAF Spitfire fighter, during the Battle of Britain. After undergoing night-fighter training and spending a short spell at the Erprobungsstelle Rechlin, Gollob was transferred to II./JG 3 based on the Channel front on 7 September 1940. On 9 October, he was appointed Staffelkapitn of 4./JG 3. He led the unit during the invasion of Russia. On 27 June 1941, Hauptmann Gollob was appointed Gruppenkommandeur of II./JG 3. He claimed 18 victories in August. He was awarded the Ritterkreuz for 42 victories on 18 September. He achieved 37 victories in October, including nine Russian aircraft shot down covering operations over the Perekop Isthmus on 18 October. He followed up this feat by shooting down six enemy aircraft in the same area on 22 October. He was awarded the Eichenlaub (Nr 38) on 26 October for 85 victories. He was to lead II./JG 3 until 20 November. In December 1941, Gollob was removed from operations and transferred on a temporary assignment to Erprobungstelle Rechlin to assist in the further development of the Bf 109, for which he suggested many innovative improvements. Following a brief attachment to the Stabsschwarm of JG 54 from 13 March 1942, Major Gollob returned to southern Russia as Kommodore of JG 77 on 16 May. He achieved his 100th victory on 20 May. He was awarded the Schwertern (Nr 13) on 23 June after 107 victories. He became the Jagdwaffes highest scoring fighter pilot in August when he recorded his 150th victory. He was awarded and received the Brillanten (Nr 3) from Adolf Hitler personally on 29 August. He recorded 40 victories during August. On 1 October 1942, Gollob was transferred to the Stab of Jagdfliegerfhrer 3 on the Channel front. On 15 October, he was appointed Jagdfhrer 5 at Deauville in France, being responsible for the tactical fighter command of northwestern France. In April 1944, he was transferred to the personal staff of the General der Jagdflieger to represent him on the Jgerstab regarding development of jet aircraft projects. But here he fell out with Adolf Galland (104 victories, RK-Br) and was transferred to the Kommando der Eprobungstellen. In November, Oberst Gollob was appointed leader of the Jger-Sonderstab for the Ardennes offensive. His final wartime appointment came when Adolf Galland was removed as General der Jadgflieger and Gollob was appointed in his place in January 1945. Gollob died on 7 September 1987 at Sulingen. 
    Gordon Gollob was credited with 150 victories achieved in 340 missions. He recorded 144 victories over the Eastern front.

Completly reworked the skin to give it a sharper and more detailled look

Sorry, the wing view is not 100% acurate due to 3DZ rendering sequence...

07/2002
I modified the canopy to fit the real shape of the 110C's canopy
also reworked the CY.TPC : pipes are the ones used for the C4.
Other changes...see by yourself.
Furthermore, I cleaned the pcx file and added a _generic.PCX that you can use as a template.

Installation:

Pay attention: this new 3dz is not compatible with old skins, but we hope, all the skinners will update their skins for this plane. :)
That means that you have to remove all the P110 files if you want to fly an older version.
