It might be this one: V./KG 40, which is well documented by Chris Goss in "Bloody Biscay."

Thanks gents, it does appear to be quite a puzzling situation. Would any of you happen to know what colour was generally accepted as the Gruppe colour for IV Gruppe & V Gruppe (Missing from the Luftarchiv.de chart)?

Thanks for your time.

Clint,

As far as I know, they repeated themselves, just like the Staffel I/D colours did. So I think IV.Gruppe's I/D colour would have been white and V.Gruppe's, red.

Regards,

Paul

A book that I've got - what a fantastic memory I have!
