Hello Robert.

There is 2 things
1/_ the staffel insignia of the 1./ JG 51 introduced by Douglas Pitcairn represented by the Micky Maus of the 3./J 88 (the last one) in a blue circle. When Douglas Pitcairn was replaced by H-F Joppien the 5th august 40 at the head of the 1./ JG 51, the new commander keep the insignia but add a white line surrounding the blue circle.

2/_ the insignia on the 109 of Fözö is the remembering of the legion Condor with the size as it was on the 109 in Spain,

At the iniative of Schmoller-haldy a pin was created for the pilots who served at the 3./ J 88. Some of them as Fözö, Schmoller-Haldy or Hubertus von Bonin continued to paint the Micky Maus in their 109 during 1940.

Thank you
