Re: How Did The JagdStaffel Number Their Aircraft?

I'm not convinced of the colour brown being used for the third Staffel in a Gruppe (such as 6./JG 26 and 3./JG 51, as has been quoted; 3./Erpr. Gr. 210 has also been quoted as having brown numbers, when this is patently incorrect), particularly for the 1940 period. I believe it is more a case of mis-identifying the colour on B&W photos. I would, however, be most interested to see official German documentation on the use of the colour brown for front-line units.
