Re: Artur Dau 7/JG51 - Bf 109 Call Sign - 10 July 1940

Thanks Nick

But all aeroplanes in the Gruppe could not have been Altvater (or whatever).
Since a Gruppe had by that time three or four staffeln I assume they then called out their
colour and Verbandkennzeichen, such as "Altvater weisse ein" and so on....
....which does not explain how our <,<I, << etc made their calls.

And what about bombers/recce and so on what did they use?

Training units where only Stammkennzeichen was used, did they use the German alphabet
for each letter, such as Dora, or whatever names they used?

Cheers
Stig
