 The "Richthofen" name had been incorrectly put on Wick's order.Wick noticed the mistake, realizing that he could now choose between JG 1 or the famous "Jagdgeschwader" 2 (JG 2—2nd Fighter Wing) which currently bore the "Richthofen" name.He chose the Richthofen "Geschwader", commanded by "Oberst" (Colonel) Gerd von Massow, the unit was equipped with the Bf 109 E-3 and used the tactical code "Yellow 3".
