I posted a low-res pic, but on the hi-res pic it clearly is a disk and not a star (I know the one you think of). The code is illegible apart from the "A" and the "4" on the rudder which seems to indicate the 4. Staffel.

Thank you all for some most interesting reading!!!
It is always interesting to learn something new!
It seems to me that everytime something new is discovered, something new pops up!

Have any of you seen this triangular shape on a Ju 52 fuselage?

Best wishes

Christian

Hi Christian

I have a similar picture (ex-eBay auction long gone) and also have been puzzled as to which unit it belongs, although it does have 3U+MT which is ussually associated with ZG 26. Could this Ju 52 be a unit staff transport?

Regards

Chris

Hi Chris...

3U+MT is indeed listed as being with ZG 26 in "Luftwaffe Codes, Markings and Units 1939-45" and with regards triangle markings, see my answer/theory in post #15... unless somebody has the definitive answer :)

Re: Ju 52 markings on the tail??

...my pleasure Chris... my theory is that the triangle markings were used by target tugs... unless somebody knows otherwise :)

Re: Ju 52 markings on the tail??

Hi again,

two more 'spot' or disc-bearing Ju52s to add to the pot:

1. there is 'P 4 C' (the earlier KGrzbV 400 wknr 6129, not the TG 1 wknr 3367) on page 62 of Piekaliewicz's 'Die Ju 52 im Zweiten Welkreig' with pale disc on the fin. Interestingly this aircraft has the Schleppsporn 6000 rigid glider tow bar.

2. aircaft 'N ? ?' with disc on rudder, being straffed in North Africa, page 88 of same book (aircraft said to be wknr 3314). Of KGrzbV 172 (with KGzbV 'Naples' tactical code).

Cheers

This is what I actually meant.

Hello Dénes

These two photos have a similar number style, sems unlikely that they are from different units to your picture.

Warm regards
