August 1, 1939 Ludwig Franzisket transferred to the 1./JG 1 on August 1, 1939 and claimed his first victory on May 11, 1940. On July 9, 1940 the unit is renamed 1./JG 27 and on October 1, 1940 Franzisket becomes Adjutant of 1./JG 27. By the spring of 1941 Franzisket has fourteen victories and 1./JG 27 is sent to North Africa to support German ground forces. When 1./JG 27 departs North Africa near the end of 1942 Franzisket has thirty nine of his total forty three victories. Designed to meet a Luftwaffe need for a single-seat fighter/interceptor, the Messerschmitt Bf 109 was first flown on May 28th, 1935. Its all-metal construction, closed canopy and retractable gear made the Bf 109 one of the first true modern fighters of WWII. This versatile aircraft served in many roles and was the most produced aircraft of the war and the backbone of the Luftwaffe, and was flown by Germany's top three aces, who claimed a total of 928 victories between them. Armed with two cannons and two machine guns, the Bf 109's design underwent constant revisions, which allowed it to remain competitive until the end of the war. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
