Re: Meaning of German word "Buffard" seen on the nose of a 1./KG77 Ju88A

Hi, Larry

My immediate thought is that the word really is 'Bussard' and not 'Buffard'. the s being misread for an f.

(The same gothic typestyle as used for example for the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten:

http://www.aftenposten.no/

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aftenposten

The meaning being Eagle or even Bird of Prey

Regards,
Andreas B
