The first photo (of the two jets) is ex-JV 44 and at Innsbruck after early May 1945. The following three photos are all at Lechfeld.

Hey Dan:

The JV-44 machine in the background of the first photo appears to be "rot" 1 with a white outline. Any ideas as to who's machine this might be?

Thanks

Hi John, doesn't look red to me. The light colored rudder top seems like KG 51, but a few KG(J) 6 also did that as did a few KG (J)54, and two KG (J) 54 jets did escape to Innsbruck. It's a new one to me :-) There were at least 22 JV 44 jets flown to Innsbruck, and this is a new one to me.
If I had to bet, it's KG (J) 54...KG 51 was still using bomber codes.

Hello Dan,


I am most curious about the one that has V 1 and V 9 markings. Why both?

Ed,

The V1 is actually VI, part of the stammkenzeichen, I believe.

I think the full STKz is VI+AD (from memory so Dan, please correct me)
