Hello,

We're doing a color profile of <<M8+AB of Hptm Günther Reinecke, Gr Kdr of I./ZG76 during the Polish Campaign. I do not have any photos from that period showing the prop spinners for Stab a/c for that period, nor the colors, (if not black, then green?) for the top and bottom wing a/c letters.

Does anyone have any information or photos which would settle these issues for the Sept., 1939, time frame?

I know that Ken Merrick did a color profile of this a/c for the old Kookabura volume "Luftwaffe Camouflage & Markings, 1935-45" P109, that showed his interpretation of the markings, but I've never seen any photos from that period that confirm what was illustrated there. The only photo reference that I know of for this a/c was in one of the old Karl Ries, Jr., books that did not illustrate those parts of the a/c.

Thanx for any assistance.
