He describes the difficult missions flown by JG 301/JG 302 and the fates of their pilots, providing the first chronicle of the Wilde Sau Geschwader.
Jagdgeschwader 301 and 302 were established in 1943. Their mission was to intercept enemy bombers at night flying fast single-engined fighters. But they also had to engage Allied bombers by day.
The pilots of these new fighter wings were a mix of former bomber pilots and trained fighter pilotsa unique composition for the Luftwaffe.

The fighter pilots were more familiar with the available aircraft and combat tactics.[AuthorName]By Willi Reschke[/AuthorName][AuthorBio][/AuthorBio][NumIllustration]over 120 b/w photographs, victory and loss lists[/NumIllustration][CoAuthor][/CoAuthor][SubTitle]In Defense of the Reich with the Bf 109, Fw 190, and Ta 152[/SubTitle][ColorPattern]over 120 b/w photographs, victory and loss lists[/ColorPattern]
