Jagdgeschwader 2 "Richthofen" КНИГИ ;ВОЕННАЯ ИСТОРИЯ Jagdgeschwader 2 "Richthofen" (Aviation Elite Units 1)ByJohn WealPublisher:Os Publishing2000 128 PagesISBN: 1841760463PDF26 MBTracing its roots to Manfred, Freiherr von Richthofen and his famous "Flying Circus" of World War I, the Jagdgeschwader "Richthofen" is arguably the most famous fighter unit of all time. Designated JG 1 during World War I, and then disbanded following Germany's defeat, the Jagdgeschwader reformed as the JG 132 in 1935 with Arado and Heinkel biplanes. By September 1939 the unit had become JG 2, and it went on to see much action during the Blitzkrieg in Western Europe and the Battle of Britain which followed. This volume, the first in a series which focuses on the elite fighter and bomber units in action, charts the wartime career of JG 2 from its first aerial kills on the Franco-German border in November 1939 through to the destruction of its own Fw 190s in the face of Allied advance at Prague-Ruzyne airfield in late April 1945.sharingmatrix 0
