I have tried over at ubi but no one could help:(
Does anyone have a bigger more detailed picture of this JVS3 training unit badge
Many thanks
Dan, any idea what the acronym stands for?
The best I can come up with is jagd v??? schule - but, what would the V stand for?
What was the context of that clip?
btw: this forum - http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/showthread.php?t=111859 - includes somebody who uses JVS3 as a handle. Maybe he could help?
It is a badge off a trainer i am skinning.
It is definatly a training unit based at Vienna-Schwechat
Shouldn’t it be JagdVerband?
It was the name used by Special Units, like JV44, wasn’t it?
Ok,
JV = Jagdverband
JVFS= Jagdfliegervorschule
JFS= Jagdfliegerschule
In Wien-Schwechat were following Trainingunits stationed:
39-41 JFS 5
41-42 JVFS 3 planes: Ar 96, Bf 109, Fw 56 a NA-57
So it seems JVFS 3 is the one you are searching for, because there is no unit called JVS in the german Luftwaffe, as far as I know.
