I need help, I have purchased an ME-109 Radio Controlled plane that has the Red Lion Winged Insignia on it as one of the staffels of JG26. The aircraft is #11.
Does anyone know their history enough to be able to identify the pilot's name and the name of the staffel he belonged to? The plane is an Emil full yellow nose; I am thinking flown in battle of Britain. Reply to Gus at esi@computerconnect.net if you know
Thanks

Hello Gus, maybe this will help: All Luftwaffe units with the exception of Jagd and Schlacht Geschwader and Gruppen, employed a four digit/letter code system. The Jagdgeschwader units used a coding system more suited to their style of combat where quick air to air identification was required. Stab aircraft were identified by fairly large symbols, normally being positioned forward of the fuselage cross, or Balkenkreuz. These symbols were usually painted black and outlined in white, although black outline or solid white symbols were sometimes used. These markings were fairly standardized but did have variations and individual adaptations in actual use. The Gruppen Stab symbols were generally similar to the Geschwader Stab symbols but were distinguished by not having the horizontal and vertical bars following the chevron The individual Gruppen were also identified by a symbol which was positioned directly aft of the fuselage cross, except for the I. Gruppe which did not have a symbol. These Gruppen symbols were painted on both Stab aircraft and the individual Staffel machines. These symbols were very standardized and did not have the variations seen on the individual Kommodore, Kommandeur, Adjudant and other Stab aircraft. The ordinary Staffel machines were identified by a colored number, the number identifying the individual aircraft, and the color representing which Staffel the aircraft was assigned to. The official directive that authorized this system specified that the code number of the aircraft should be placed forward of the fuselage cross, coupled with the Gruppe identification symbol painted on aft of the fuselage cross. (See: www.xs4all.nl/~rhorta/jgmark.htm)Red Lion Winged Insignia: JG26, III Gruppe , 9. Staffel Wingcommanders in the time-period of Battle of Britain: Major Ernst Freiherr von Berg, 1. November 1939 Major Adolf Galland, 6. June 1940 Major Gerhard Schöpfel, 21. August 1940 Hauptmann Josef Priller, 6. December 1941 I would suggest that #11 belonged to Major Adolf Galland, which was one of the well known german fighter pilots. S! JG26_Brubaker |

Thanks Brubaker, I had thought that Adolf Galland had the personal Mickey Mouse Insignia on all of his aircraft.
