On 19th April 1941, the only fighter unit that was sent to the desert, I/JG 27. carried out its first mission in tropicalized Bf 109E-7s. From February 1941, the AfrikaKorps was active in Libya to support the Italians, who were in full rout after the disaster of Beda Fomm. FliegerFuhrer Afrika was created at the same time, but the detachment of fighters necessary (in the event the I./JG 27) to escort the bombers in operations carried out their missions only from April 19th 1941. By late 1941 several Bomber Stab had joined the ranks including the Stukas of 2./StG 3. seen here in traditional desert coloring, with black codes on the fuselage and the white theatre band running around it.
