Re: 5./KG76 Emblem?

Hi Clint and Paul

I have the book (I had forgotten I had it) and yes on page 50 the photos are clearly a very badly damaged F1+HN with what has been described, in the past, as a 9./KG76 three arrow emblem. Discounting a transfer of aircraft between the two staffels, with a former emblem not removed, one must conclude that this emblem is in fact 5. Staffel. None of the other photos I have with this emblem show alpha codes that would skew the argument in favour of the 9./KG76 direction. So unless other photos exist showing 9./KG76 association...................

By the way I must recommend this book (ISBN 0-9546201-4-3, in truth I had not really taken much notice of it, some very nice photos. Chris/Red Kite should be congratulated in bringing so many good well reproduced images together with informative captions at such a reasonable price.

Chris
