JG 26 (JG = Jagdgeschwader, which is german for Fighter Squadron) was a famous German squadron which flew from air bases in France and Belgium during WWII. There was a short time when some of its groups were in Sicily, and even a group transfer to the Eastern Front for a while. The most famous JG 26 pilot was Adolf Galland. Before the end of the war, Galland was removed from flying duty with JG 26, and promoted to General Der Jagdflieger (General of Fighters).

JG 26 happens to be my favorite german unit from WWII. They were famous for painting their cowls and tails yellow, and known as the "Abbeville Boys" to the Allies. For a major part of their Western Front assignment they were based at (among others) Abbeville, France.

The gothic "S" in the shield is the unit emblem. They named the squadron after a pilot with the name of Schlageter, and represented his name with the gothic S. There were two styles they flew with, but the one you used on your Bf-109 was the most common and the later style.
