Re: 3./JG 54 loss summer 1941

Dear Sidney,

I have no answer but a comment. Your unit designation is interesting.
Here is another expired eBay auction, among others, picturing this accident.
Please, note the tactical code number style,
then, compare with another photo given by Prien in JFV 6.II, page 196; "Weissen 3" 1./JG54!

Hence:
- Did all Staffeln adopt that style during that period? Or if only one ... which one?
These are not the only pictured machines: I have that "11", that "3", one "8", one "9" and one "10" ...
- Or, since the 3./JG54 emblem seems to be overpainted; is it possible, too, that "our" eleven did simply not belong to 3./JG54 ... And code colour isn't Yellow.

Jochen provides us with only one loss in Pleskau (may be only in seller's dream) with 15% damage... Doesn't seem to be that one.

Best regards, Franck.
