Re: Fw 190 A-8, I./JG 301

Just for the record, has anyone ever considered the possibility JG 11 changed their assigned aircraft tail band color?

Consider this: during this period, with countless German aircraft already operating with yellow tail bands, wouldn't you think JG 11's commanders would have quickly realized they had a serious recognition problem?

To correct this, I'll wager the officers of JG 11 authorized the addition of a red band forward of the existing yellow band.

I respectfully submit this explanition as a plausible alternative to the so-called "transposed JG 301" tail band colors theory.
