Ju 88 lost on 12 August 1944
 
Hi,
I am looking for some info about losses of Ju 88 on 12 August 1944 over France. I have found here: http://baseportal.de/cgi-bin/basepor...d=all&Id=10733 2 Ju 88 from 4./KG30 and 5./KG30 , first one chrash near Valenciennes. What was the reason of these losses? Maybe fighters?

Regards,
Szkieletor

Thank You, Chris!
Do You know who shoot down the second one Ju 88 (that from 4/KG 30)? I know that Bolesław Gładych 61 FS/56 FG claimed Ju 88 that day. Probably over Cambrai but I don`t have his combat report. If that was true, then he probably got that Ju 88 but I`m not 100% sure.

I have not researched the 2nd crash but contacted the German & American pilots if the first one. However it seems likely that it was Gladych

Thanks Chris!
If somebody have or know how to get Bolesław Gładych report form that day it would be great ( I am also interested in few more USAAF pilots reports)
Now, I am trying to find what type of aircraft was claimed by pilots form 361 FS on that day. They claimed 2 kills and if that wasn't Ju 88 or any other bombers then Gładych victim is 100% sure.
