Re: Ju 52 with unusual tail

I agree with Remi... the use if two numerals for a rudder tactical code is rare. Most are two letter & one number or Roman numeral, number & letter combinations. On flicking through the Kossler booklet, the only examples of two numbers being used include the following Ju52s coded in this manner:

Ju52 coded Big 5 small 4 of II./KG.z.b.V.1
Ju52 coded Big 8 small 9 of 8 Staffel II./KG.z.b.V.1
Ju52 coded Big 5 small 1 of 5 Staffel KG.z.b.V.1

So perhaps the example being discussed here belonged to 6 Staffel II./KG.z.b.V.1?
