Re: Wing coding Bf110 and in general

The third letter on the fuselage should be in the wing tip, also on upper surfaces. Later they were progressively removed, in some cases here and there even from the lower wing surfaces.

However, be careful. It is not uncommon to see aircraft which retained the original Stammkenzeichen (factory codes) under the wings, but had them overpainted on fuselage by the unit letters.

So, if you see a letter on the wing tip, it is possible but not 100% certain it is on fuselage. It could be the first (starboard side) or fourth (portside) Stammkenzeichen letter. The image attached illustrates the point.



Best regards.
