Need help with eagle/hawk insignia of fuselage of Bf109Es for Jochen Prien book insignia artwork

[ChrisS]

Hello Jochen

In Luftwaffe im Focus Nr19 pages 30-35 Axel Urbanke identifies this 'eagle with a clutch of roundels over waves in a shield' emblem as belonging to 3./JG 52, even illustrating a profile by Claes Sundin of Yellow 10 with the emblem. Is he then incorrect in this?

Cheers

Dear ChrisS,

I have seen the article in Luftwaffe im Focus. We disagree with respect to the allocation of the emblem you mentioned but only time and future findings will tell who is right and who is wrong. Our present state of research will be presented at the end of the Appendix to Vol. 12/II.

Regards

Jochen Prien
