Hi Kiwi123,
Great image by the way, very authentic.
I am using this as my screen saver! Do you have any more work like this?

Best regs,

Hi Kiwi123

Are you sure about using green for the ID letter? Always thought that a Stabstaffel aircraft had a blue ID letter.

So it should be 5J+DA (Geschwaderstab) or 5J+AD (Gruppestab)

Not addressed to me I know but Green would be correct. I believe that Blue was normally reserved for aircraft of a IV Gruppe.

Well, your message made do a quick search on the internet. This site http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/LRG/markings.html mentions that both colors were used by geschwader and gruppestab. So both colors are right while I believed there was a difference.

I know blue was used as color for a 4th staffel in a Jagdgeschwader. In a bomber unit a 4th staffel could be recognized by the 4th digit in the ID nr

Thanks for the feedback
