Hi, Larry...

Doug Stankey and Larry de Zeng's Bomber Units of the Luftwaffe 1933-1945, Volume 1 (Midland Publishing), page 161, shows the emblem as having a yellow outer ring. I'm sure I have seen a rendition of the emblem with a red ring as well somewhere - sorry, I can't remember in what publication - but never in a colour photo, and I've always taken it to be yellow. At the bottom of page 162 of the above-mentioned book, is a black and white photo of A1+BH, clearly showing a light-coloured outer ring, and at the top of page 166, a winter camouflaged aircraft A1+AH with it's emblem almost entirely surrounded with white distemper, but no clear indication of a darker 'red' outline. Oh, and don't forget... the propellor spinners on the machine in your photo may have been 'acquired' from another machine in a hurry... will we ever know...?

Regards...
