Hello Ed!

The Fw 58 S17+M32 in the first album should be LNS 2, which used S17+M codes so therefore the insignia should be for that unit, but I have never come accross LNS2's emblem so perhaps a more knowledgable person could interject with confirmation or otherwise?

Thanks for finding these!

It is LNS 2, Peter Evans has identified it here http://www.luftwaffe-experten.org/fo...=&fromsearch=1 using the Carlsen and Meyer Band 1 Die Flugfurhrer-Ausbildung der Deutschen Luftwaffe as his guide.

Ed,

thanks for discovering such precious und exciting rarities time after time.

Especially the first album contents some "specials", for instance on the page with Me 110, DC 3 in LW mail-service... on the right bottom there is a photograph showing "Oblt. Reuter" and the caption underneath reads in English (translated): "Was killed on 13th March 1944(?) during a night attack on an anglo-american ship-convoy at the african coast near Tobruk after combat with a Mosquito."

Best Regards
Norbert
