Re: Me's vs Spits over North Africa: Who were those guys?
Let's not also forget that regardless of how many planes the JG's had on hand, the German effort still had to deal with issues of fuel, spares, servicibility & the fact that the Allies were either bombing the crap out their landing grounds or attacking their lines of supply almost at will; regardless of how many planes the JGs had on hand, the question is how many could they put in the air...And another note RE: the encounter 92 Sqd had: Nomis was clear in his recollections that Marseilles had already died by the time of their dogfight--as had Steinhausen & Stahlschmidt & Lieres-Wilkau being wounded---so I am guessing the encounter took place some time in Mid October 1942;
So...does anyone have Norman Franks' book on Fighter Command losses handy?
