Re: Luftwaffe unit emblems - "Battle of Britain" era
Gladiator,
On a closer look, it looks to me like a body of a seagull (would refer to the contemporary theatre of operation) with the eagle's wings attached to it(Luftwaffe). If you take into account that the Staffel was based nearby the cliffs on the French side of the Channel because of the Bf-109's limited endurance, and that it had to fly its missions over the Channel to reach England - the seagull, a bird that dominates such environment, sounds quite plausible. Thanks again for the photo. Regards, Sidney Last edited by sidney; 4th November 2007 at 11:04. Reason: slight correction required
