tom63 Posted August 5, 2021 Share #1 Posted August 5, 2021 This image is from a large group of negatives I got from a private estate. Trying to figure out where/when they were taken. Do the markings/letters on the bomber give any indication of its squadron or where this airfield is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Kraut Posted October 14, 2021 Share #2 Posted October 14, 2021 This is what I could find out so far: The signs DE & HU are not markings of a specific wing. Wing markings always consist of a letter and a number e.g. "Z3". DE HU is most likely a so called "Stammkennzeichen" (producer marking) or "Überführungskennzeichen" (convey marking). These markings were painted on by the makers and removed when the plane was attached to a wing. Maybe your Junker saw action before they could change the markings. I also found some double letter markings for training and test units but none of them was "DE". Now we have to verify that DE represents Junker. Hope this helps.
