Synonymous with the Afrika Korps and the campaign in North Africa, JG
27 provided Rommel's army with fighter protection for virtually the
whole 'roller coaster ride that was the war in the Western Desert
from 1941-43. Formed in Germany on 1 October 1939 (with Adolf Galland
as CO of I.Gruppe), JG 27 saw considerable action both during the
Battles of France and Britain, downing 146 aircraft in the latter
campaign alone. Sent to North Africa in April 1941, the geschwader
had an immediate impact on the campaign, which had up until then been
dominated by the Allies. The third volume in the Aviation Elite
series on a German fighter geschwader, this book will once again
prove popular with Luftwaffe enthusiasts and hobbyists alike.
