Mit der Kamera an der Front: Als Kriegsberichter bei der I.(J)/LG 2 und dem JG 77: Fotografiert von Doldaten- Band 3 (2018) By Axel Urbanke
 
Using unique original color photos and supplementary black-and-white photos, this book describes the history of a German fighter unit. In many respects. Q)/LG2 was a special fighter unit. Before the outbreak of war in 1939, many of the pilots were members of the Luftwaffe's aerobatics Staffel, which had been formed by I. Q)/LG 2 in spring 1938.
 
During the Second World War, between 1939 and late 1941, countless fighter pilots who would later become highly-decorated aces, men like Harder, Marseille, Brandt, and Mertens, flew their first combat sorties as members ofl Q)/LG 2. Others, like Ihlefeld and Geißhardt, earned the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves or Knight's Cross while serving with the unit. I. Q)/LG 2, which is usually referred to simply äs I./LG 2 in official documents, was also the Jagdgruppe that flew the Bf 109 E äs a combat aircraft longer than any other and which also scored the most victories with this type. Hptm. Ihlefeld, the unit's Kommandeur, was the Luftwaffe's most successful fighter pilot on the Emil.
 
The unusual emblems and Camouflage schemes worn by the aircraft of. Q)/LG 2 made it one of the Luftwaffe's most colorful fighter units.
