Unit emblem Me-109- Belgium - help with recognizition
I refer to the picture of the Me-109 at bottom right (can be enlarged), reportedly made at the little used Brugge-St. Kruis airfield in the early war years: https://luchtvaartgeschiedenis.be/co...ugge-vliegveld
Not being a Luftwaffe expert myself: who can recognize the unit emblem near the cockpit? This to perhaps identify one of the few German aircraft that made an appearance there. All help appreciated. Regards, Leendert |

Emblem is from JG52.

Re: Unit emblem Me-109- Belgium - help with recognizition
It is indeed the main JG 52 shield.
But what is behind it? Am I just imagining things or could it be the startled (angry) cat of 4./JG 52? Cheers Stig |

René,
Thanks. Picture perhaps in the short period (26 Feb-6 Mar 1941) that II./JG 52 moved from Berck-sur-Mer to Maldegem by way of St. Kruis (Male)... Groet, Leendert |

Missed the second emblem seen here alongside the 4./JG52 "Arched red cat" emblem.

Stig,
It could very well be the cat of 4./JG 52. Emblem of this was reduced to this size by April 1941, as other pictures show at Maldegem, I now found. Regards, Leendert |
