Bf 109F-4/Z operational use

[greybeard]

I'm trying to understand what the operational use of this model was. Unfortunately, the data I have managed to collect is fragmentary; appears to have been employed in North Africa by JG27 and JG53 but I lack details on which groups and in what time period. I hope someone can help me.

It seems that the 9./JG3 was also equipped with F-4/Zs in June 1942. In a Russian book, then, the I./JG53 and the 5./JG1 are mentioned in this regard, but I don't know the language.

Never knew that (from above book) : the GM-1 boost system, in Germany jokers deciphered this abbreviation as Goering's medicine
