History
Formed June 1941 at Leipheim for assignment to Luftflotte 4 in South Russia. In July, it transferred to Vinnitsa in W Ukraine from where it flew supply missions to the airfields at Kirovograd and Nikolayev, mainly to bring up fuel and bombs for Stuka units. It departed Vinnitsa for Leipheim in November when the weather and muddy airfields made glider operations no longer practical. [1]
