Beautiful photos, Bob.
Here is what I have on W.Nr. 4001: Ju 88A-4, W.Nr. 4001, IV./KG 30, 24-Oct-43, Technical failure, Denmark, NW of Aalborg, Bruch 20%. However, I think your photos show another accident, which happened at another (school?) unit and not in Denmark, but rather somewhere South. What is the complete code on the fuselage (T_+AL)? |

Hey
This wheels-up landing plane was the Ju 88 A-1 / 4001 / TC + AL. This aircraft belonged to Gr.KFS 2 and made a crash-landing because engine-trouble on 27. May 1941 by Puttling. The damage was 25 %. Latre the plane was repaired by Junkers-aeroplane repair-shop in Breslau-Langenau and flown there from 08. March to 07. April 1942. Does anybody knows the time and place of manufacturing. JoMe |

Could it be a A-12?
I have info that this aircraft was with FFS (B) 6 in 1943 as a A-12. Regards, Norbert |
Re: Any info on this Ju-88?
I made a mistake it should be FFS (C) 6
Sorry, Norbert |

Re: Any info on this Ju-88?
I am not at home, so I can't confirm the original assembly date, but it has to be late 39 or early 40, I will check also the assembly location when I get home tonite. At the time of the crash in 1941, the a/c was probably not an A-12 (which were all umbau a/c) as I really don't think any were converted to that subtype until later.
Best regards, Artie Bob |

Wilhelm Janßen injured) Note the straight tip of the rudder, caracteristic of early A-1 / A-5 series machines.... also VDM (Metal) propellers... but it has A-5 type rear Beetle-Eyed twin-gun canopy frame... edNorth |
Re: Any info on this Ju-88?
I guess FFS B 6 was correct after all.
Thanks for the clarification, Norbert |
