ADLER KRIEGIn the fall of 1942 the Luftwaffe began to face it's newest enemy in ever increasing numbers and frequency. The engagements didn't occur over the cold cloudy sky above the English Channel or Coast of France. The German Eagle met it's new enemy the American Eagle in large numbers for the first time in the clear sky above the hot sands of North Africa. The small initial engagements gave way to larger battles after Operation Torch in November 1942. The USAAF entered the theater of operations with untested units and young pilots. The P-39s of 81st and 350th Fighter Groups P-40s of the 57th and 325th Fighter Groups along with P-38s from the 1st and 14th Fighter Groups were about to take on some of the cream of the Luftwaffe. Veteran BF-109 units like JG-3 JG-27 JG-53 and JG-77. The fearsome FW-190 Butcher bird flown by JG-2 and venerable BF-110 Zerstörer units like ZG-26. As the German Eagle and American Eagle bloodied their talons on each other above North Africa they set the stage for two and a half years of bitter fighting ahead in Southern and Northern Europe.
