Another tail marking!!!
 

Hello,

I have not seen the number 6 on a Ju 52 tail before.
Does someone knows what it means?
I believe the code is DC + SM or DG + SM.

Once again thank you for your help.

There are examples of this '6' marking on 6./KG.z.b.V. 1 machines, but with an additional smaller numeral to indicate which plane-in-Staffel. (Several photos in Meyer & Stipdonk, Von der Fliegerschule zum Einsatzverband, pp238, 239).

DG+SM was WNr.7299 and served with KGr.500 and IV/KG.z.b.V. 1, lost 18.April 1943 as "1Z+HQ")

DC+SM served with KGr.z.b.V. 105, 106, 108 and the FFS [C] 12, but I do not have the Werknummer.

Thank you very much GRM!! It is highly appreciated.
I have so collected so many photos of the Ju 52 over the years and am now putting together a book showing them. If I at the same time can write a little about each picture it would be awesome.

Cheers,
