J.G. 2 Staffel Colours and Emblems for 1942


The year 1942 saw most of Jagdgeschwader 2 convert to the Focke-Wulf 190. In fact, with the exception of 11. Staffel, by July 1942, Jagdgeschwader 2 was an FW 190 unit for much of the year.

I have written an article about the FW 190 A-2s and A-3s used by J.G. 2 in 1942, and I might add this to the site soon. It is based on statistics, including losses, aircraft on and off strength etc., but it also deals with markings and camouflage. It includes a listing of all known FW 190 A-2s and A-3s that served with J.G. 2.
