Re: helmut wick.
I checked in the book "Major Helmut Wick" by Herbert Ringsleiter, Motorbuch Verlag, page 152.
It states: Wick's personal emblem. The bird was apparently a kingfisher bird but the background is not clearly stated. It is said here that this bird is known as good in "aerobatics" and a good hunter. It is also known to bring luck. The exact colours of the bird emblem is apparently not fully known. The same source comments on the "Horrido" emblem which was not Wicks personal but originally from Hauptmann Henning Strümpell, 3./JG2 which was adopted as the 3./JG 2 emblem early in 1940.
