Seeking info on new insignia and loss info on 1./KG3 crash of 5K+FH, probably during the WC/FC of 1940
Hello,
For possible profiling purposes, the EoE Working Group (WG) has been trying to ID the loss details of this a/c and the unknown insignia that it apparently carried: http://ihra.smugmug.com/photos/i-QCV...-QCVvfxt-L.jpg http://ihra.smugmug.com/photos/i-xvV...-xvVx9hp-L.jpg The code is almost certainly 5K+FH, which makes it a 1./KG3 incident that probably took place during the WC/FC of May-June, 1940. This has an unidentified insignia on the nose, perhaps personal or perhaps a prototype for a I Gr or 1 Staffel insignia what was subsequently superseded by the "Wild Man" I./KG3 insignia by the time of the Battle of Britain. Here is a rough outline over the insignia that could indicate what we're looking at: http://ihra.smugmug.com/photos/i-9mN...-9mNVZxL-L.jpg 1) Does anyone have any other images of this insignia? 2) Can anyone put a date and place on the FL of 5K+FH? 3) Does anyone have other photos of this insignia or this FL a/c? Thanx for your help. |
