X. Fliegerkorps[Notes 1] (10th Air Corps) was a formation of the German Luftwaffe in World War II, which specialised in coastal operations.
Generalleutnant Hans Ferdinand Geisler was put in command of the newly formed Flieger-Division on 3 September 1939, based at Blankenese.
[1][2] The Corps was stationed in north Germany in February 1940 when some of its aircraft were involved in a disastrous friendly fire incident that terminated the Kriegsmarine's Operation Wikinger.
[References 2] It was prominent in the axis effort to suppress Royal Navy interference with the supply routes from Italy by reducing Malta's effectiveness as a forward base.
[References 5] In the spring of 1940, the Luftwaffe assigned all flying units intended for the conquest of Norway (Operation Weserübung) to the corps.
