Re: Piper Cub L-4 unit designation

Hi Filip,

My friend Ken Wakefield asked me to pass this on to you:

With regard to the L-4 mentioned on the 12oclockhigh.net website, 21 was the unit code of the 8th Armored Division, which in May 1945 was in the Harz mountains area of Germany (incidentally, for some reason I was unable to open and view this photo). In a little more detail, the code 21-A indicates that the aircraft belonged to the Air Section of the Division's Headquarters. With regard to the 2nd and 90th Infantry Divisions, mentioned by Filip Vojtasek, the codes of these Divisions were 95 and 48 respectively. '
