Default Re: Battle for Northern Africa-interesting info

From Johannes Steinhoff´s book " Die Strasse von Messina "

If the part for the German fighter pilots was not great in early July 1943 it was not easy for the Schnellkampfgeschwader 10´s ground attack pilots with FW190A´s either. They started with 74 planes, received 81 new planes during the fighting in Sicily, and by the end of July had 15 planes left which is less than 10% of all the planes altogether.
