I do actually sleep....hanging upside down.

Got one of my books about the Stuka and it's a machine in there that begs to be done...in other words, cool camouflage!

Here you go son.....

I noticed that the StG2 used numbers on the wheel spats with Stab II./StG2 having a white 2, but, another machine from 4./StG is also numbered 2. As it says with one of the pics in the book....."Note the aircraft letter L and the numeral 11 on the undercarriage fairing. When Gruppen consisted of three Staffeln, some letters were not used in the aircraft code systems, hence the slight mismatch between the L, the twelfth letter of the alphabet and the and the 11"

Was the StG2 the only Geschwader to use this numeral system, how did it work and has anyone ever seen a.....well you know, a 13?

Sure does Wojtek, my friend! There's a few in winter camouflage that looks tasty as well....

B-17engineer · 09-19-2009, 05:16 PM

I'll look further but this is what an immediate search brought up.

Jan, when I get my CD writer sorted (should be this week coming, I hope!), I'll send you a couple of books on the JU87, which include some excellent interior and other detail pics. I'll post it with the 74 Squadron book.
