Re: Seeking photos of Stab and 5./StG77 Ju87Bs showing the rabbit insignia during or after the Polish Campaign
Hello,
On further research I found a photo of the 5 Staffel rabbit insignia on a Ju87B. This is on P. 43 of Karl Ries, Jr., "Markings and Camouflage Systems of Luftwaffe Aircraft in World War II," Vol. III (1967). This shows only a close up of the insignia on an aircraft, but I'd still like additional photography showing unit aircraft with full codes and carrying this insignia. The caption says "during the Polish campaign...", which suggests that this may only have been used until the PC was over, when it was replaced by the Black Panther design. This is consistent with my speculation that II Gruppe painted unit insignias on its a/c while based at Radom during the PC.
Regards,
Larry
