The Story
Created from elements of I./JG 77 and IV./JG 1 in January 1942, Jagdgeschwader 5 âEismeerâ is one of the lesser-known German fighter units of the Second World War.
It nevertheless had an impressive operational history, as this book shows. The unitâs successes were equally great. The Geschwaderâs ranks included a number of outstanding fighter pilots who marked JG 5 and accounted for a large percentage of its victories: names like Bartels, Brunner, Carganico, Döbrich, Dörr, Ehrler, Linz, Mors, MĂŒller, Norz, Schuck and WeiĂenberger will always be associated with JG 5.
Produced on the initiative of the EismeerjĂ€ger Veterans Association, this account of operations by JG 5 is intended to further round out the history of the German fighter arm and provide the reader with a picture of the fighting in the far north.[AuthorName]By Werner Girbig[/AuthorName][AuthorBio][/AuthorBio][NumIllustration]over 200 bw images[/NumIllustration][CoAuthor][/CoAuthor][SubTitle]The Luftwaffeâs JG 5 âEismeerjĂ€gerâ in World War II[/SubTitle][ColorPattern]over 200 bw images[/ColorPattern]
