Owl (?) Insignia on Do 17
Can anyone help ID this unit? I have found bomber, recon, and a training unit that had an owl insignia but not a direct match. FFS (C) 16 looks close but I do not know if they ever had Do 17s in a training role.

That's more likely a Do 17Z from Wekusta 26, which used the identical emblem.

You are very welcome - I believe that this emblem was also described in one of the more recent? editions of LimF. Not sure what the conclusion was.
