Re: Ju 52 markings on the tail??
Chris
You must have misunderstood the German Ju 52 tactical codings. According to Karl Kössler they had nothing to do with the name of any commander what so ever. Since I am not fluent in German and has not read his booklet from cover to cover, I read that the letter B stood for KGr.z.b.V.500 and not who was its commander. The letter D stood for IV./KG.z.b.V.1 A quick look through the booklet seems to confirm Kutscha's points that the number indicated the Staffel within the unit, ie the 4th St within the IV Gruppe and the letter below was the aeroplanes number in the unit, ie in this case xx+Jx as its fuselage code. Cheers Stig
