Jagdgeschwader 51 'Meolders' - Weal, John

JG 51 is Luftwaffe's top wartime fighter units. The unit's history encapsulates the fortunes of the Luftwaffe's fighter arm as a whole - the heady successes of the early months, the steady attrition and the growing strength of the opposition during the mid-war years, and the final chaos and collapse of the last days.
