Luftwaffe emblems

[hamishunger]

Hello and Happy New Year, this is the wrong forum for this question, I wasn't sure where to post it. If you know of a more suitable forum, could you tell me and I will redirect this post. Here's my question. Can anybody please identify this Luftwaffe emblem, I found it some time ago on the net. It pertains to one of my research 'projects' but I don't know which one because I didn't make a note the unit it represents. Can anyone enlighten me please?

Hi ... and Happy New Year !!!

It is not the Luftwaffe emblem but of the WW1 French SPA 155 "Petit Poucet" squadron. In May 1939 the SPA 155 and the SPA 160 units were merged into the Groupe de Chasse II/4 (GC II/4) equipped with the Curtiss H75s.

Brilliant thank you, now I remember. Sgt Raimund Puda, a Czech fighter pilot fought with this unit until the fall of France. He then made his way to Britain, joined the RAF and fought with 310 squadron. One of the many foreign nationals that helped save us in the Battle of Britain and without whom we would possibly have run out of pilots and what then ... used our bomber pilots and then .......
