[F19Gladiator]

Hello again,
This is the photo from Donald Caldwell's "The JG 26 War Diary Vol 1" which probably gave the foundation for the view that emblem is representing an eagle.

Here the white body and head of a bird can be traced. As European eagles does not typically have white bodies and heads it would be intereting to know what the inspiration behind this emblem was. American..... Or can it still be that it is another bird than an eagle which inspired to this emblem?

Thanks for your patience with my questions.
