Hi Adam -

However, as with Sidney, I'm still troubled by a Stab.II./Tr.Gr.186 prior to 10 September. Is the order for transfer on 3.9.39 to Stab./506 a reflection that a Stabsstaffel was merely on paper, or was it a unit in the process of forming or just an ideal that was not realised until after the outbreak of war?

The Feldpostübersicht entries below strongly suggest that the Stabsstaffel was not formed until the beginning of 1940:
(26.8.1939 – 1.1.1940) L 24187 = Stab II. Jagd-Geschwader 186 = III. Gruppe Jagd-Geschwader 77.
(2.1.1940 – 27.4.1940) L 38299 = Stabsstaffel II. (Jagd) 186 = Stabsstaffel Jagdgeschwader 77.
