The legendary World War II Luftwaffe fighter unit Jagdgeschwader 2
"Richthofen" is the subject of this new, large-format, illustrated
volume. Tracing their history back to World War I fighter ace
Manfred von Richthofen (the legendary "Red Baron"), JG 2 was at the
forefront of aerial combat. Flying the Messerschmitt Bf 109 and the
Focke-Wulf Fw 190 fighters during World War II, JG 2 produced many
famous aces - among them Wilhelm Balthasar, Walter Oesau, Egon
Mayer, Hans Hahn, Erich Rudorfer, and Helmut Wick. Using a
day-to-day chronology, the book covers JG 2's combat history during
the early campaigns in Poland and France, through the Battle of
Britain, North Africa, and in the later defense of the Reich
battles. A short chapter also covers their post-World War II
transformation to JG 71 "Richtohofen" under the command of Erich
Hartmann, when they flew the F-86, F-104 and F-4 Phantom.
