Date of manufacture of this Ju 88
 

Hello,

When was this Ju 88 built ?

- Werknummer 430 689
- probably a D-1 type

Thanks in advance

The loss dates for both 430684 and 430685 were in April 1943, so it would appear that 430689 probably was built in early 1943, possibly as late as March or April. This aircraft does not appear on the QM loss list, can you identify it in any way as to time, place or organization?

Best Regards,

ArtieBob

430689 first flown 16.03.43 ~ BAL 17.03.43

so, this be "February production", but in "March acceptance" figures, right ?
