Request Yugoslav campaign in RAF
#3

There was very little action - at the beginning they flew patrol and recon missions using escaped VVKJ Do-22's and SIM-XIV-H's until early 1942 when last of these expired due to lack of spares. Then they were transferred to ferry flights bringing in fresh planes into the theatre, to be finally organized into a training squadron using Harvards and Hurri II's. From this two Yugoslav RAF squadrons have been formed (351 and 352) which were transferred under Tito's command and saw action in the Balkans as a part of the BAF. The pilots that refused to join the Communist cause have been transferred to regular RAF squadrons. The B-flight of the 94 RAF was made up of Yugoslav personnel and they flew missions over Crete and mainland Greece during the closing stages of the war. Some Yugos flew bombers with the USAAF, B-24's and B-26's again in the MTO.

If you want a North African campaign pretty much the only option would be to follow the 94 Sqn. Although the 351/352 Sqn exploits would offer more material for a campaign but not in North Africa...
