2.(F)/124
Aufklärungsstaffel 2.(F)/124
Due to several typographical errors in original Luftwaffe documents (i.e., an entry in the Gen.Qu./6.Abt. Loss Reports for 14 June 1942 lists two of the Staffel’s Ju 88 D-5s destroyed in a British commando raid on the airfield at Heraklion/Crete this of course being a typo for Aufkl.St. 2.(F)/123), mention of this Staffel has gradually started appearing in some of the more creditable aviation literature: see for example, Christopher Shores, Brian Cull and Nicola Malizia, Malta: The Spitfire Year 1942, London, 1991, pages 347-48. In reality, this Staffel never existed. There was no Staffel with this number in the Luftwaffe at any time during World War II.
