Thank you Larry for this very comprehensive review of the Ju 87 use of the GZ emblem. I had speculated whether the J9+YK also had the emblem (on the photo to the immediate left of the crewman standing on the wing, and hidden partially by the crewman and some battle damage). But if you have the original photo then I assume your view of it is far better than the low res version from the eBay site that I have. Thanks also for pointing out the text on the cowling of J9+XK, which I had certainly not been able to decipher on my version. I can’t offer anything on the meaning/origins of this.

Further additions to Larry’s post or comments on the Jever Bf 109E of 5./TrG 186 would still be very much appreciated.


Thanks

Ian
