Ju 52....53 + N11

Hello,

I just want to ask if I have understood this correctly..

5 Luftkreis V (HQ Munich)
3 Third Geschwader in the Luftkreis
N A/C N within the Staffel
1 I. Gruppe
1 1. Staffel

I have followed K. Merricks directions and hope I did it right.

I have a photo of a Ju 52 with this marking and also hope that someone can tell me what this unit was renamed later.

Thank you in advance,

Christian

Re: Ju 52....53 + N11

This type of code was introduced 1st of June 1936 and was in use untill July 1939.

Code 53 was used by KG 155.
I./KG155 was formed April 1st 1936.
February 1st 1938 it was renamed I./KG158 (not sure which code it used then).
A new I./KG155 was formed by redesignating I./KG254 on November 1st 1938.
On May 1st 1939 it was renamed into I./KG55 still using code 53 untill early July 1939 when the code G1 was applied.

Regards,
Rudi.
