What is your source? I have not (yet) found reference to Ju 188s being used by KG 40 (they did use Ju 88s with the FW 200 units and of course V/KG 40 used the Ju 888 C-6) albeit Kommando Rastedter (some times subordinate to KG 40) did use a few 188s |

Hi Chris.
It has F8 on the photo before the Marking. One source also says F8 was KG 55, but it was the only reference I havt ot 55, most others say 40. Photo looks like Italy. Hope it helps |
Re: Ju 188 KG 40
Smells of corrupt info. One case of F6+ reported as F8+ in Italy 1945.
No match on any Ju 188 A/D/E/F for serial 0251 -Ed |

Hi Merlin.
The 8 must be a 6, a bit dark over that area, and the E also looks right. Quite damaged on the photo. I am quite far on the book on all the a/c found by the South Africans up north. Still need to get to anything past J in the alphabet, and then the French stuff we collected in Madagascar. Thx a mil |
Re: Ju 188 KG 40
Please confirm serial shows 0251. I have 0258 F6+EP damaged in crash 22.11.1944.
(two killed, one injured) Designation Ju 188 D-2 (not as Merlin writes). I do wonder if everybody thinks it is allright carry on and on writing German designations not correct most of the time. -Ed. |

Re: Ju 188 KG 40
Tail indeed has camo and shape for Ju 188 A/D/E/F (and Ju 88 G) series.
"Air War Italy" P.214 has this "Ju 188, KG 40 (?), 0251, F8+ED, Demolished" From No 1, FIU report 25.05.45 |
Re: Ju 188 KG 40

I thought it looked more like F8 than F6 but I have also not seen that KG40 had 188's in my books. what does FIU stand for?? Thx for the gen. |
