Re: Numerals on rudders
Hi Chris
The old Warpaint Series No. 24 on the Do 217, by Jerry Scutts, includes side profiles of Do 217 M-1s U5+LK and U5+DK of 2./KG 2. Both are shown with the same camouflage as the image you have and have the '2' on the tail fin. Both are captioned for Operation Steinbock in October 1944. U5+DK also has the two tail-rings.
Perhaps operation-specific markings for 2./KG 2 during Steinbock?
Not definitive I know!
