Hi Kiwi123,
Great image by the way, very authentic.

Best regs,

Hi Kiwi123

Are you sure about using green for the ID letter? Always thought that a Stabstaffel aircraft had a blue ID letter.

So it should be 5J+DA (Geschwaderstab) or 5J+AD (Gruppestab)

Not addressed to me I know but Green would be correct. I believe that Blue was normally reserved for aircraft of a IV Gruppe.

Well, your message made do a quick search on the internet. This site http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/LRG/markings.html mentions that both colors were used by geschwader and gruppestab. So both colors are right while I believed there was a difference.

I know blue was used as color for a 4th staffel in a Jagdgeschwader. In a bomber unit a 4th staffel could be recognized by the 4th digit in the ID nr

Thanks for the feedback
