Re: Ju 52 markings on the tail??
I posted a low-res pic, but on the hi-res pic it clearly is a disk and not a star (I know the one you think of). The code is illegible apart from the "A" and the "4" on the rudder which seems to indicate the 4. Staffel.

I have a similar picture (ex-eBay auction long gone) and also have been puzzled as to which unit it belongs, although it does have 3U+MT which is ussually associated with ZG 26. Could this Ju 52 be a unit staff transport? Regards Chris Last edited by ChrisS; 11th June 2008 at 18:52. |

Re: Ju 52 markings on the tail??
Hi Chris...
3U+MT is indeed listed as being with ZG 26 in "Luftwaffe Codes, Markings and Units 1939-45" and with regards triangle markings, see my answer/theory in post #15... unless somebody has the definitive answer cheers Peter D Evans LEMB Administrator |

Re: Ju 52 markings on the tail??
...my pleasure Chris... my theory is that the triangle markings were used by target tugs... unless somebody knows otherwise

Re: Ju 52 markings on the tail??
Hi again,
two more 'spot' or disc-bearing Ju52s to add to the pot: 1. there is 'P 4 C' (the earlier KGrzbV 400 wknr 6129, not the TG 1 wknr 3367) on page 62 of Piekaliewicz's 'Die Ju 52 im Zweiten Welkreig' with pale disc on the fin. Interestingly this aircraft has the Schleppsporn 6000 rigid glider tow bar. 2. aircaft 'N ? ?' with disc on rudder, being straffed in North Africa, page 88 of same book (aircraft said to be wknr 3314). Of KGrzbV 172 (with KGzbV 'Naples' tactical code). Cheers GrahamB |

Hello Dénes
These two photos have a similar number style, sems unlikely that they are from different units to your picture. Source: 1) ex-eBay closed auction 2) http://www.luchtoorlog.be/ju52_f.htm Warm regards Chris Last edited by ChrisS; 11th June 2008 at 18:52. |
