Re: 2./JG 27 Leeuwarden 1943

The Gruppe did not take their Bf 109 G-4s with them when it left the Mediterranean theatre in November 1942. The reason for that is that it did not have them - from September 1942 until the aforementioned date, it had only the Bf 109 G-2s. The Bf 109 G-4 that the Gruppe was equipped with during the period of rest and recuperation, would not have the white wingtips, because there was no reason to have them in the European theatre of war.
