Help on identifying crews lost on 9th April 1941 in attack over Coventry

Hi,

Could anyone please provide information regarding the crews on three aircraft lost on the 9th April 1941 involved in the attack on Coventry.

According to the Blitz Then and Now Volume 2 (pg 517) three aircraft are listed as losses but no details on crew are given.

I am looking to identify if a Uffz. Michael Frank was a crew member in the Ju 88 that crashed into the North Sea from 2/KG30 or if he was one of the crew from the two Ju 88s lost from I.KG76 that were brought down by enemy fighters or german AA fire.

Any help would be aprreciated.

Many thanks

Rick
