Re: Unknown Bf110 emblem
Hello,
In the EOE Photo DB we have another view of the Bf110 being loaded aboard the truck that Franck posted on Dec. 17th. The code appears to be 2N+ES, which would mean that this a/c was assigned to 8./ZG76 at the time. This is almost certainly in Norway in late 1940 or early 1941. The other parts of the code are less certain, but the "S" for 8 Staffel is very clear. As Ian suggests, this indicates that this had nothing to do with the old I./ZG52 - II./ZG2 dragon emblem. Nor does this tell us whether this is a personal or a Staffel or Gruppe emblem. I only know of two versions of this artwork. It could have been a prototype for a new emblem under consideration that was never actually adopted.
Regards,
