Help Required II./ JG 27 North Africa 1942

[maccullagh]

Thanks Jochn your comments are appreciated and interesting.

I am especially interesting in your comments regarding the location of the white band. This was the reason that I was thrown off the scent during my earlier research over the last 19 years as I could not find another aircraft with similar markings that match the time frame or location.

I do know that my father, the one in the great coat, commented to my mother that North Africa was the coldest place he had ever been.

For some reason I have a time frame of November 1942 in my mind for the photo but I will have to go over my fathers records again. That would explain the cold bit some what.

Researching my fathers unit is also hard as records have not been kept by the Australian Army as well as I had hoped. I will provide further details once I get more info.
