Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Jim Crow collection has 5 images of the Ju 88 identified as C9+DH, it appears from these the W.Nr. is 714084. The Ju 88 tentatively identified as an "A" I would guess was more likely an "S" or "T" based on the nose enclosure.

Best Regards,

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Thanks Artie, for this appreciated confirmation. Good to know that I./JG 5 did actually receive it's first Ju 88 G-1's already whilst being based at Saint-Dizier; I was unsure of that.

As for the Ju 88 "A", I first thought of the "S" variant but was troubled by seeing the visor housing under the cabin. Is this a common Ju 88 S or T feature ?

Cheers
Marc

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Dear Marc-Andre,

I didn't look close enough, missed the housing for the bomb sight optics which would pretty much confirm the Ju 88 would be a bomber "S".

Best regards,

Artie Bob

The Ju 52 pic is a photo from the Army Signal Corps collection available at NARA.

With and without snow.
(You'll notice in the snow photo that the description lists it as a FW 190, but the photo number 190060-s is the same on the front and back of the photo. Mis-identification on photos isn't that uncommon. NARA tends to leave the original WWII description "as is" whether right or wrong.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Hi Gents,

Thanks Rudi for your amazing finds...; And all my best wishes for 2019.

A new photo of a well known Me262 wreck and much pictured one on Augsburg-München highway .. but no ID so far.

As for the G-6, we think it's a TS+MB at Schlessheim of T.S.(3).

Regards,
Franck.
