9/KG53 insgnia?
 

Hello,

Im looking for the insignia of 9/KG53. I have managed to find the insignia for just about every other KG53 staffel, just not the one Im after, which is rather frustrating.

Many thanks for any help.

Regards,

S.

Hello... :)

I haven't been able to find a unit emblem for this Staffel either, but there is a well-known photo in a book which I have, that shows an in-flight shot of an He111H from 9/KG53 during the Battle of Britain (A1+BT), and it clearly has no unit emblem at all.

I suspect some Staffeln simply used the Gruppe emblem, similar to the often-seen photo of A1+AH on the Russian Front, which carries the I.Gruppe emblem behind the cockpit glazing. Then again, hopefully someone else may prove me wrong.

Regards...

Hi,

Thanks for that obdl3945, appreciated.

I got interested in A1+LT (5536), which came down 29/10/40 after a W/T failure.

Hi, I found the emblem of the III./KG 53, see attachment.
Is it that what you are looking for?

I have a fair number of III/KG 53 photos and apart from what Horst has shown, have not come across any specific 9 Staffel badge

Thanks for the continued help chaps.

Horst Kube, not what I was looking for at this time, but it is stored away. Im sure it'll be useful in the future, so thank you.

And thanks for the confirmation of no staffel emblem Mr Goss.


Appreciated all,

Regards,

Hello Horst

I have this as a later version of the above badge but,sadly, do not have it as a photo on an actual aircraft.

I do, however, have a photos of the earlier emblem, all from expired ex-eBay auctions.

Hope this helps!

Aha... ! A 'Eureka' moment, I believe... :D

Hope this helps you, too, guys... as per one of Ed West's many previous offerings.

Re: 9/KG53 insgnia?
 

I was hoping someone would pitch up with a photo of the later emblem!

Brilliant, thanks for sharing.
