By September 1939 the unit had become JG 2, seeing much action during the Blitzkrieg and Battle of Britain.This first in a new series focusing on elite fighter and bomber units, charts the career of JG 2 from its first aerial kills in 1939 to the destruction of its own Fw 190s in the face of the Allied advance in 1945.
