Re: Luftwaffe unit emblems - "Battle of Britain" era
Christian,
b) I have many images of 4./JG 26 a/c during the BoB period and none of them carry a tiger's head on the starboard side.
c) There are examples of the 6./JG26 insignia on the starboard side of aircraft in 1939 and comtemporary to the French Campaign of 1940. I did not find any specificly that could be identified during the BoB period, although I would be very surprised if there weren't some.
d) I know of only two aircraft in the Stab of III./JG 26 for which photos are available depicting this clover insignia, Schöpfel's Gr Kdr a/c, and Müncheberg's Adjutant a/c, with a "13" in the middle of the clover. I know of no other examples of this.
Regards,
