About the book: 2001 / The first Bf.109B-1 left the Augsburg assembly line in February 1937. By this time, the head one for equipment The oldest fighter squadron, JG.132 Richthofen, was chosen as the new fighter. They planned to rearm the 2nd Group in Jüterbog-Damm first, followed by the 1st Group in Döberitz. However, the situation in Spain, where the I-15 and I-16 demonstrated complete superiority over the He 51, forced first of all to rearm at least part of the J/88 in the Condor Legion, which turned out to be a convenient opportunity to test the aircraft in real combat conditions and at the same time develop suitable tactics. Thus, after a short retraining course, the personnel of II/JG 132 were sent to Spain, where the Bf.109B-1s arrived in April 1937. Here they replaced He. 51 as part of the 2nd squadron J/88.
