Phil,

That definitely falls within the parameters of the EOE project, but is far too vague to spend any significant time researching this. Is this based on a photo? If so, can you post it? What was the condition of the aircraft--a forced-landing, a full crash, did it burn out? All of the clues which could make a search productive are missing here. What more can you give us as clues?

Regards

you might need a metal detector to find the needle, but Peter Cornwell's The Battle of France: Then and Now has a daily listing of aircraft losses during the battle - using the comprehensive index, you could check the pages where each of the losses from Ju 87 units are listed til you find the one that matches your quest.
