Help Wanted

I have been looking for either a webpage or a book which explains what the markings on the tails of German aircraft meant. I know that is where they put their kill markings, but what each symbol represented is what I would like to have a reference point for.

Is there anyone who can help me? 8v)

Luftwaffe Rudder Markings 1936-1945
by Karl Ries and Ernst Obermaier

probably contains the answers to your questions but I have no idea of its availability.

Thanks, O.T.

I'll look for it.

I figured there had to be a book available on that subject. Must have not been specific enough on my googling it...hehehe

Here's some markings explained. It isn't all you want but a beginning.
