Although in their case it was a load of brand-new Bf 109 E-4/b ...

The second was the II.(S)LG 2 with E-4B. First mission as Jabo, Sep 2, 1940.

And the third was I.(J)LG 2. The unit used the new E-7s, delivered from middle August 1940. By the end of the month was full equipped with the E-7s and start training at Denain with the 3./Erp.Gr.210. First mission as Jabo was flown Oct 4, 1940.

I disagree about I.(J)/LG 2. It's more likely that one Staffel was sent to Denain for Jabo conversion (I have found more such examples such as 7./JG 51 and 1./JG 77) but not the whole Gruppe. After all it was a fighter unit ...

And yes, I forgot about II.(Schl)/LG 2. :oops:

Generally it is very nice spawn list, but is maybe not utterly suitable for the beginning of the battle.

For example when the Battle of Britain began, No 602 was still in Scotland, moving south in mid-August. ...603 remained on defensive duties in Scotland until the end of August 1940, when it moved to southern England for the remaining months of the Battle of Britain.... 605 moved south again in September for the closing stages of the Battle of Britain and so did 607....

Thanks for the input guys, I will try to compare datas I have as soon as I'll be back from holidays. For the moment I am happy that there is some discussions about that part of the history on 1c forums, the more discussions the more accurate data will be ... I had some problems with specific units and squadrons... They were off the map delivered in CoD, or I had not enough datas to put theme in correct aerodromes... List of my sources is very long, basically lot of informations I got from books that I read, forums, uncle google and grani wiki... Next time I got time I'll try to update mentioned mismatches...

P.S just forgot to add... Anyone who wants to use that map, go ahead, feel free to use it no problem...
