Re: The official AHF Luftwaffe quiz thread
Maxschnauzer,
You made me work hard to find the answer. Very good of you.
This aircraft was piloted by Hptm. Herwig Knüppel, Kommandeur of II./JG 26, March 1940.

Re: The official AHF Luftwaffe quiz thread
Thank you Maxschnauzer,
My question is the following: Which Luftwaffe unit, (which took part in the Battle of France), painted the noses of their aircraft yellow, and what nickname were they later given by USAAF bomber aircrews ?

Several units had yellow painted noses but I think you may be speaking of "the Abbeville Boys" of JG 26.
Cheers,

Re: The official AHF Luftwaffe quiz thread
Quite correct von thoma.
Next question is yours to give.
P.S. to all; I will be absent for the next few weeks/months, as I just found out today that I must have surgery on my left eye tomorrow and my vision is not great in my right as it is now. So I may not be able to use my computer for awhile.
I will miss all of you and have fun with the trivia.
See you all soon I hope.
