StG77 Ju87B-1 code/emblem question
There were couple photos at e-bay of the Ju87B-1, coded S2+A? :
The emblem is attributed to Stab.II/StG77, so the last letter should be "C", and "A", as well as spinners tip, should be green, like on this profile: but they are obvious white. If "A" white, then this aircraft should belong to 4./StG77, and the last letter "M", but what's with emblem? So my questions are: 1) What is the last letter? 2) What colour is "A"? 3) Were wingtips yellow (can't say for sure from this photos) Sergey. |

It's a B-1, but it has been retrofitted with an armored rear gunner's position. Very interesting indeed.

Sergey,
please note the white number 25 on the wheel cover. This defines the aircraft as belonging to the Ergänzungsstaffel/StG 77. This Staffel used white spinners and white letters on their aircraft. The emblem of the former owner, the Stab II./StG 77, was not repainted.
