Summary:
Totally outnumbered throughout their short two-year sojourn in the
Western Desert, the crack fighter pilots of the handful of
Jagdgeschwader in-theatre fought an effective campaign in support of
Rommels Afrika Korps against the British and American forces.
Relying almost exclusively on the Luftwaffes staple fighter of World
War 2, the Messerschmitt Bf 109, the battle-hardened aces used the
aircrafts superior performance to achieve incredible scores against
the Allies. Similarly, once pushed out of North Africa, these units
continued to take the fight to the RAF and USAAF from makeshift bases
in northern Italy.
