I./JG 27 in North Africa.
According to some accounts, when on April 1941 I./JG 27 arrived to Lybia as the first Luftwaffe Jagdgruppe to be deployed in North Africa, it was mounted on Bf 109s E-4/Trop. On the other side, there are many pictures of 3./JG 27 preparing to the ferry flight from Sicily to Lybia, where the Bf 109 Es are all outfitted with the belly tank and the pointed spinner, which are usually regarded as a distinctive mark of the -7 sub series.
Anyone knows for sure the outfit of I./JG 27 when it first arrived to Lybia? E-4? E-7? a mix of both? Thanks.
