Some JG 27 items.....a flugbuch from a Bf-109 pilot , Fw Maraun who flew in Russia and had three kills, then to Africa where he flew numerous missions before being shot down by a Curtis. The pilot and another BF-109 had taken off to cover Stukas that were assembling for a raid when the Kittyhawks jumped them. The pilot force landed near el Daba. Maraun returned to the cockpit in 1944, but no longer flying fighters.

A copy of the rare "Jagdgeschwader 27 in Afrika" book, a JG 27 period feldpost card, tropical breast eagle, and a collection of tropical Luftwaffe shoulder straps for flight and flak. The flak boards are sun faded....of course

Dirk, you are a man of many mysteries. From a fellow USMC/Luftwaffe collector, let me say what a wonderful little grouping this is. I have always appreciated the DAK LW material in particular. Thank you for sharing. Kevin

Kevin, Bob thanks for your kind words. Was interested in flugs for a few years and the desert campaign.
