Interesting emblem on the Hs 129 in http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...tem=6184680708 looks very similar (given the lack of resolution) to one on Page 204 of Ries' "Photo Collection Luftwaffe Emblem 1939-45".

According to Ketley and Rolfe - http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...tem=6184960328 "A puffing winged donkey" a short lived emblem used in the Norwegian campaign by elements of KGrvbV 9.

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...tem=6185004457 shows a Fi 167 of which (according to Smith/Kay and Green) 12 A-0 were constructed for service trials with Erprobungstaffel 167. These aircraft (probably 9) were transfered to the Netherlands for trials. After withdrawal from service testing, a number were overhauled, and according to Smith/Kay, transfered to Rumania. How true is that, did they see service with Rumanian forces - and if they did, what were they used for.

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...tem=6184536622 shows what is probably a Ju 88D with the emblem of 14.(F)/121.

Another superb selection Ed! Many thanks.
