{detailed description}Arguably the archetypal Luftwaffe fighter unit of World War 2, JG 53 aircraft were encountered on almost every front from the first day of hostilities until the last. Its famous 'Ace of Spades' unit emblem, which was displayed throughout the war, has, in effect, become visual shorthand for the wartime German fighter arm, being seen on models, prints, illustrations and book covers the world over. During almost six years of near constant campaigning, JG 53 took a steady toll of Allied aircraft — French, British, Soviet and American — in every theatre it fought over. Its aircraft were present in some of the fiercest aerial actions of the war — the Battle of Britain, El Alamein, Stalingrad, Normandy and the Defence of the Reich.
