[Micke D]

I checked both JaPo’s and Jerry Crandall’s books yesterday and they don’t have this photo. I think it was Crandall who has another photo with this D-9 in the distance standing on the nose but so blurred so the fuselage band isn’t easily seen.

But what color is this band? Light blue? Yellow? I’m not sure.

Could the red of the nr 11 have nearly the same shade as the blue (?) band? And did III. /JG 54 use a light blue band on their A-8's?

I guess that this plane could have been repaired after use by III. /JG 54 and gone to another unit later.
