Need ID of KG30 Ju88A probably Holland 1940
 

Hello,

I've recently acquired a photo of a Ju88A, probably of 2./KG30, from 2/3 left front, with the left main gear collapsed. It has the I./KG30 umbrella in a gunsight insignia on the nose, and what looks like a red or black "I" or possibly "H" as the aircraft code, outlined in white: possibly 4D+IK would be the code? It looks like it has a yellow rudder. I've seen this one before, but can't place where. It seems to me I may have seen this captioned as at Schipol AF Holland. Can anybody help with the ID of this one?

Thanx,

Hi Larry,

This one also came back in the parallel thread on KG30 in Holand, but for completeneness:

I also have the picture in a book, equally difficult to interpret the exact code. I had 4D+IH, LH, IK or LK.
But there are references to such an accident in any sources I know of.
My interpretation is therefore that this accident (not necessarily due to ennemy action) happened when I./KG30 moved to Schiphol towards the end of May 1940. I don't have the exact date for this move.
I remember there is a book on Schiphol in WW2, which could contain more details.
Hope this helps,

Pieter
