Uncle Sam
Quote:Probably, but in limited quantities (and they are also needed in Greece for Rommel). The PzD have already suffered a lot in Russia and will take an even heavier blow in September.
Quote:And where are they coming from ? Probably not from France, since the Allied in GB are already becoming dangerous in the air. Not from not eastern front either.
Quote:After the heavy losses in 1940 (longer battle for France, battle of Britain against a more prepared RAF), hard fights over Corsica, Yougoslavia/Greece/Crete in 1941, almost continous fights over the Aegean in 1941/42, Greece again and Soviet Union in 1942, the Luftwaffe is more affected than you think. The problem is for the pilots, not the planes, BTW.
Quote:No, because French and British orders were almost continous since 1938-39. In 1940, the fact that France fights on avoids the "air pocket" in the US production. France will first continue to receive P-40 and such and then switch to P-38/P-51 in the middle/end of 1941.
