Re: help with Bf109G II./KG(J)55 markings

Thanks Don. A most useful link.

Laurent Rizotti previously posted loss information for KG(J)55 aircraft for Dec44-Feb45. Extracts from his post -

12 December 1944
Bf109 6./KG(J)55 BT+KB
(P) Fw. Heinrich Schiffgen (67185/452) killed.
Crashed during a training flight Nr. Plattling, Niederbayern, SE of Regensburg. Germany.

and

4 January 1945
Bf109 5./KG(J)55 BT+EZ
(P) Oblt. Alfred Veith, seriously injured.
Collided with PZ+TX during a training flight Nr Plattling, SE of Regensburg, Germany.

Would I be right in assuming then that the BT+KB is the factory number, not the unit marking? I couldn't make sense of the BT otherwise .......

Thanks
Peter
