Re: Did the HS 129 B-2 operate in Tunisia 1942/43?

I have had a bit more time for a hunt round the forum. I see that Martin Pegg and Dénes Bernád have published books on this type (one of Pegg's is out of print and expensive s/h).

Amazon.co.uk shows two titles, but there seems to be a mix-up:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/o/ASIN/18578...613482-7203834

and

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Henschel-HS-...e=UTF8&s=books

I assume one has the wrong cover thumbnail. Anyhow, Which book is best for info on Tunisian theatre aircraft, units, pilots, markings and camouflage?

Meantime I have found this on the web:

http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/2072/SchG1.html

which indicates 5 Staffel of Schlachtgeschwader 1 (or was it designated Sturzkampfgeschwader 1 at this time), equipped with B-2s, so I assume these were armed with the 3cm weapon?

Any further info appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
