Re: Luftwaffe in Iraq
I guess you've seen 'Dust clouds over the middle east', if you haven't it's got some details of the operations of Oberst Junck's illfated Fliegerfuhrer Iraq, but no WNr's. It gives the force a strength of;
4./ZG76 (12 Bf110C)
A Kette from ZG26 (2 Bf110C)
4./KG4 (7 He111H-6) (though it seems only 5 were despatched; 5J+AM, 5J+LM, 5J+GM, 5J+AC and 5J+BC)
As well as 20 Ju52/3m's and 'a few Ju90's.
It appears that all of the despatched aircraft were lost, though it is not clear exactly whether all of the intended 20 plus transport aircraft were despatched and then destroyed/abandoned.
