Do 17 emblem "Götz von Gerlichingen"
Hello,

Does anybody know more about this emblem (Götz von Gerlichingen) on a Do 17?:

http://www.battlegroundrelics.com/al...n-berlichingen

Also, does anybody know the meaning of the small black cross next to the dark stripe across the fuselage?

Regards
Roger

Re: Do 17 emblem "Götz von Gerlichingen"
Thanks for the information. It seems that I am not so literate on classic literature :-) So, I missread the name "G" for "B".

Maybe it is not a personal emblem (which I first thought as I thought Götz von Berlichingen was the name of a pilot) but a unit emblem.

Regards
Roger
