Could someone explain the chevron with the "H"?

This aircraft looks similar to one described in Dr. Prien's "purple" volume 5, page 188, marked "< B + -" and belonging to Stab JG 27 during the winter 40-41.

More intriguing is the apparent personal bell marking painted beneath the cockpit.

To Steven -

No problem. It's always fun finding something new and/or unseen till now.

It's amazing to see how someone would pay such a high price for a reproduction photo (that can pop up again in days or weeks).

Buyer beware: There is something fishy about the KG2/KG66 album:

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=330351584816

Captions do not match the photos, looks like original KG66 pictures have been removed and replaced by random/inferior ones to fill the album again..

You're perfectly right Dénes, It's already the second time this picture is put on ebay in two months!!:D.

I'm curious to compare both plane...
It's not in contradiction with datas I have (and I'm sure All have) concerning this kind of JG 27 markings :
Franzisket plane but very small A comparing this H.
Sinner <T on 109F.
Schroer <A (but white) on 109F.

Last, Yes, intriguing Bell marking. Hope to know more later (but quick!).

Franck.
