Re: KG 26 Fuselage Art on eBay auction today

Hello,

I've now located in my Data Base several photos from the series of Stab KG26 fuselage art from about the time of the Polish Campaign. These date back as early as 2005 on German eBay auctions. One is "Hosenbrummer", either 1H+BA or 1H+DA, I'm not sure which. A second is 1H+GA, which shows Mickey Mouse riding a bomb, and a third shows an indian warrior with three feathers, a rifle and a tomahawk, all painted very crudely. I've seen this somewhere in the old Ries books, as well. Does anyone know the fuselage code of the aircraft with the head of an indian warrior, almost certainly also with the StabStaffel of KG26 in the late-summer or fall of 1939? It looks like the words "huff, huff" are printed next to this face. Does anyone know where this artwork was previously published in the old Karl Ries series of books, which I'm pretty sure was where I originally saw it?

Thanx,
