Re: Photos 2-21-13

Terrific to find pictures of my city of birth Antwerpen 1941... There is not so changed, besides some new buildings on the riverbank... Antwerp City was not bombed heavily in thos years, (but had to suffer V-1 and V-2...). Thanks Ed!

Re: Photos 2-21-13

You're welcome, gentlemen. And thank you for the additional information. I enjoy hunting for treasure.

Best,
Ed

Thats wrong. Type is Ju 188 F-1 (BMW 801 engines) and last time I knew of the 3.(F)/33 had "8H+xL" (did Wadman really have this so wrong?)

Ed

Re: Photos 2-21-13

Ed

No Wadman's page 70 is in a brief history of 3./Aufklärungsgruppe 33, and it is very clear the photos on page 70 also belong to that Staffel.
Wadman does not specify the Ju 188 subtype, but only says Ju 188.
Not sure why Marc states 2.(F)/122, but Wadman does not, and e-bay seller doesn't either.

Also Marc
Surely http://www.ebay.de/itm/ws/eBayISAPI....m=261173361513 is an Do 17P? The direction finder seems to be located way back on the fuselage compared to what was normal on the Z variant.

Re: Photos 2-21-13

Stig, I have this book, and am surprised at Marc quoting it, in this errorous this way.

Re: Photos 2-21-13

Ed and Stig,

You're absolutely correct, as is Dave Wadman... Still trying to figure out how come I've mixed up the mention of one crew of 2.(F)/122 on p. 69 against the title!

Sorry for this blatant error and thanks for the correction!
Marc
