Re: Looking for insignia images for III./KG55 during 1940-41
Andy,
This gets "curioser and curioser" as it goes forward. The K-Report, does, indeed, say that this insignia was "Gold" with three blue fishes. I looked for my copy of the "G" report before I wrote my earlier posting, but, unfortunately, it apparently got skipped when we transcribed the the He111 sequence. So now we have two credible reports of the fish being red and one of them being blue. I guess now we need a German source to provide contemporary color confirmation for this. I'm now leaning back towards red for the fish.
Are you sure that the souvenir booklet was for 8. Staffel specifically? This is very similar to the insignia on the rudder of G1+DT, for which I have a photo with a confirmed fuselage code. Mine is obviously a 9. Staffel aircraft.
Regards,
