Very interesting thread could I just check a few details on the KG 30 losses. My notes have three Ju88's crashing in the UK, I have the aircraft of Uffz Lorentz at Hamilton Hill as an A5 and that of Fw Bihr at Humandy as an A5 (NB these are from old sources which I no longer can find). Four aircraft coming down in the sea with 15 crew missing and one body recovered and three crashing on return. From QM's list dated 19th. Aug. two returning crashes are shown from III/KG30 ( the Airwar over Denmark site shows one from 8/KG30 as 75% at Aalborg-West with crew of Fw Matschke inj.). In addition QM's returns dated 17-8-40 shows the third as Ju88A-5 of II/KG 30 being 40% damaged at Oldenburg after crashlanding due to enemy fire on the 15th.
Are crew details available for the two Ju88's of I/KG30 shown as missing, one of them reported as off Flamborough Head.

Hello,

Am updating the EOE Luftwaffe Data Base on 4D+DR. So do we now conclude that this is an A-1 with the W.Nr. 8048? Should the other III./KG30 losses that day be changed from Ju88Cs to Ju88As? Are these our conclusions?

Regards,

Yes. No C models were used in this attack.
