Re: EJG 1 1945: Which Staffel flew Fw 190, which Bf 109?
Hello Lumabe,
Yes, they probably were attached to IV./EJG 1 that was stationed in the South at the end of the war.
Hello Junker,
Yes, Vaerlöse is 14./SG 151. I haven't seen a photo of one of their aircraft yet. It may well be that they used completely different styles of tactical markings.
Hello Steve,
Unfortunately, I can't attach a photo (it seems only to work if one can provide a link to a photo), but it was published in a Polish book about captured Butcherbirds. It shows '37' without propeller and rudder next to a Fw 190 coded 'White 5'. The color artwork also shows the '37' on the landing gear cover. They have interpreted it to be a white tactical code and a red '37' on the landing gear cover. I trust your judgment that it was in fact yellow.
Since 3./EJG 1 flew mainly Bf 109s and apparently used yellow codes, it would imply that 'Yellow 37' is not from EJG 1. Interestingly the font type of the code is almost identical to the one on 'White 48'.
