4.(S)/LG2 Insignia: background color, origins & relation to personal insignia of Adolf Galland

Hello Larry.

Sorry for my delay but I must first finish an article for... yesterday. I will answer shortly now

Galland was never for me to 5.(S)/LG2 only to 4th staffel.

At the beginning it was his only personal insignia, and when he became staka, it was used by other pilots

he was faithful to his insignia till end of his life, this little photo was taken at the end of eighties, and it is the car of Galland.

Ps: sorry but I will finish later.

I forget something.

If he was in July in this unit, he was only in the stab as Technical Officer. Don't forget he came from RLM, where he had to write his experiences from Spain.

During these 3 months before September 39, he had also to give his opinion for 2 new aircraft Hs 129 & Fw 189, he was in Berlin for the return of Legion Condor.

I don't remember well, but he told me something like that, because we spoke in English, and my English is not good and fluent.

Something that many people didn't know, his fisrt job (a little time) was technical officer in VJ/88 (Versuchsjagdstaffel), he was the pilot who received and tested the He 51 which came from Germany.


Thank you

Gentlemen,
according to original documents Oblt. Galland was Staka of the 4.Staffel. He came to the II.(Sch)/LG 2 on 1.7.1939 and left this unit going directly to II./JG 52 at Böblingen.
