The Bf 109's were ordered to keep close
escort of the bombers. The 109 had short
range enough for only 20 minutes combat over England.
On one mission JG/26 lost 12 fighters, due
to low fuel, and not to enemy action.

Famous WW2 Quote
"Among the men who fought on Iwo Jima, uncommon valor was a common virtue."Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, 16 Mar 1945

Any landing you can walk away from,is a good landing. This pilot made it back to France
after combat with the RAF over England.
During the Battle of Britain the Bf 109's
had little more than 20 minutes combat time over England when the red fuel light came on
it was time to head back to France.
The Luftwaffe lost many of its Bf 109's due
to running out of fuel.
