"Tough Day" represents a bleak gathering of Jagdgeschwader
2's most colorful Focke-Wulf FW-190As. JG 2 "Richthofen"
was one of the rare Luftwaffe units that campaigned in France
from the first day of the 1940 Blitzkrieg to the end
of the German occupation. While a Gruppe or Staffel might be
sent elsewhere temporarily, JG2 was the stalwart fighter organization
in the West. As such, JG2 was witness to the changes in Allied
airpower. By the autumn of 1943 there was no question that Allied
airpower was rising to unimaginable heights.
