Geschwaderkommodore, Major Adolf
Galland, leads the Stab flight and elements of I/JG26 from Audembert
airfield on an evening mission to the Thames Estuary in September
1940. Below, the 2nd Staffel begin to taxi their Me109E‘s
to the take off positions and will soon join the rest of JG26.
Building like thunder clouds over the Channel, their approach
will be plotted by RAF Fighter Command‘s radar, and so another
confrontation is guaranteed as the Battle of Britain moves towards
its climax. |
