Information about Recon unit 5.(F).122
 

Hello,

I'm looking for informations about the 5th Reconnaissance Unit 122
served in Russia.
Especially I'm looking for informations of later Oberleutnant Robert Quel
who served with this unit as well as informations about his crash landing in
Gostkino (or Tallinn-Laksberg) with his Ju 88D-1 (Werk-No.:430697) on
the 05/06/1943.
I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Best regards,

Alec

Hello!

EETN is and was Tallin Ülemiste.

Tallinn Lasnamäe (Laksberg) was old airfield used mainly by military. Today it is built up suburb, sometimes jokingly called Lasnagorsk.

Cheers,
Kari
