Hi friend for 8 1940, on only one of my list i found 368 Aircrafts,
It's impossible to answer your question ...
So, 2 piercing the screen for Nantes :
- 30/08/1940 Heinkel 111 P2 Wk numm 2813 III./KG55 Notlandung Engine fail = All crew all injurieds...
- 31/08/1940 Ju 88 A1 Wk numm 4061 (Kgr 806 ? ) Ober Ln Janson = All crew killed ...
A great number of "loss" are not localised exactly for August 1940 !!!

Best regards, Dan

Lo,
thanks ed for your add, my datas not complet for this ju 88 crash ...
For question about datas from our friend,
It's not really easy
We have the Excellent website, our friend Tony Wood, (search by google) but the band was limited by provider, and it's not easy to connect theses days ...Best soluce, it' download all pdf when the band is good...
We have somes datas about Usaaf on
http://www.aviationarchaeology.com/src/db.asp
http://www.armyairforces.com/dbmacr.asp
http://www.maxwell.af.mil/au/afhra/
We have the excellent search engine for German NJG claims (and bomber command loss) , by our friend Anders Nashung on his website
http://medlem.spray.se/jabs/Nachtjagd.html

But for the essential, it's necessary to put the hand in pocket for buy differents books about Bomber Command, fighter command, (chamberlain, etc ...)the 2 books write by Michael Balls about Deutsches Nachjagd (precious and difficult to find, sometimes on Ebay.De) and different datas and microfim near officials service in Germany (Bama) states (Nara) ...etc...etc

Differents searchers has personals databases, but generally it's "fruit" of long years works to compile and verify ... and expansive sacrifices ...

Best regards, Dan

THANKS A LOT FOR ALL YOUR INFORMATIONS

For your information, the Junker crashed in the NE of the NANTES airport in a field near the RN23 (National Road), at 700m NE of Le Chaffault castle and at 1 km NE of the SNCAO aircraft factory (now EADS AIRBUS).

Many thanks

Hi; again intruding...

Is there anything left on the spot it crashed, photo evidence etc. ??? If this is your aircraft it was likely an Norddeutcher Dornier (NDD) Lisence built Ju 88 A-1 example. And they are very interesting as some of them were certainly fabricated in late 1939.

cheers
