Luftwaffe J2 Two Too Many

[Guest Brian von Etzel]

I have a serious weakness for the J2. Tim C. got me hooked a few years back, now I can't stop...

[Scott]

Very nice trio!

Brian, you can never have too many!

A powerful design. I can understand the obsession.

[Guest Brian von Etzel]

It's nice to have a representation of every maker, but the J2 just looks the 'part' better than the rest. Looks like the eagle that won the battle on the goblet.

Everyone who cares about the J2 know about the infinity sign Tim found?

I'd heard about the "infinitiy sign", but this is the first time I've actually seen it. Thanks for the close-up!

No problem Scott, you'll see J2 eagles on at least another Juncker wreath but I'm not sure if the J2 was on the J1 wreath and the J3 wreath. Others more astute to the combinations will have to tell us that.

...and, I wonder which other Jmme/Imme the J2 shows up on.

And let us not forget the all important ?bump?.

As far as mix and match is concerned. The most commonly found pairing would be the J3 eagle on a J2 wreath. I?ve come across J2 eagles on J3 wreaths but I?ve never seen a J1 eagle on anything other than a J1 wreath?Just wouldn?t look right!

[Scott]

I have a J1 pilot and P/O, and they have a completely different wreath with none of the J2 'fingerprints'. On another forum, someone posted a J2, an IMME, and one other maker (I dont recall), and they all had the J2 wreath with the infinity sign - amazing how it pops out at you when you know where to look.

Other than the standard Juncker J2, You'll find J2's being used by, as you say, JMME and the firm of Wilhelm Deumer.

I can NEVER get tired of this WAR Bird!!
