    Default Info needed - Ju 86 aircraft codes during Stalingrad Airlift

    I'd like to make a set of decals for Ju 86s in use during the Stalingrad airlift. The limiting factor for me is information on aircraft codes. I've found several websites that indicate that there were between 50-60 Ju 86s used during the airlift and that they came from school units. I've not been able to find any information on the aircraft codes for those school units or temporary markings that may have been used by the ad hoc organization during the airlift.

    If you've any information about the aircraft codes I'd greatly appreciate a PM.

    I have seen artwork and model kits with unit codes NV+ and TO+ but I have not been able to confirm those codes with any historical documents or photographs.

    So we're looking for these two units:
    KGrzb V 21
    KGrzb V 22

    You might check Dressel & Griehl's book on the Ju86 from Schiffer.

    Not suitable for Stalingrad, but a Spanish Civil War scheme:
