Notes;
Use MAE to easily insert these skins into missions (Shameless plug ?).
Many many thanks to the creators of the great templates used to make these skins. They do the hard yards to make our work so much easier. Thank you.
Historically correct insignia used.
The skins are representative only. The correct models are not always available. Interpretation is to be expected. Due to the constant changes in combat, individual aircraft never fully conformed to the current standing orders of camouflage and identification application.
The zip file packs are JSGME compatible.
This post will be updated as packs are done.
The Military Aviation History guy on youtube has a very informative video on the structure of the Jagdgeschwader.
How is a German Jagdgeschwader set up?
Cheers,

Nothing really to report at the moment. We have the Finnish map pre-release. Not overly excited with the plane line-up compared to what should have been done. At least we get the Bf109-E4 so that is something.
Korea is closer and looking forward to the B-29 and jet combat.
I cannot believe that IL-2 are going back for the Pacific? Is that going to be a big money spinner for them? Time will tell.

JSGME compatible.
Notes;
These skins have been created using the doctrine of luftwaffe aircraft identification of the period and partly theoritical in creation. Unknown aircraft were nominally allocated names.
JG 27 saw considerable action during the Battle of France. The names used by 2./JG27 were German Colonies prior to WWI. Inspired by the Reichskolonialbund
(Reich Colonial League) whose purpose was to reclaim the overseas colonies that Germany had lost as a result of the Treaty of Versailles at the end of World War I. The emblem used by 2./JG27 was The emblem of the Reichskolonialbund, based on the flag of the German East Africa Company.
