Chris, may I ask how you arrived at this sub-type and number? Any info or clues is valuable in this case. Corrections are never too late to make. A few Ju 88 A-5´s are indeed reported in GQM losses in BoB period (certainly one of KG 30 on of 15.08.40) but there were no
Production A-4´s flying yet (only from about February 1941), and only from mid summer 1941 (Barbarossa) they began to appear in quantity.
5648 was Ju 88 A-4 of I/KG 60 (Luftflotte 3) Non-OPS (H) crashed and burned (100%) at Cazaux Airfield 19.02.1943 (F Lt. Peter Gebhardt, B Uffz. Walter Fritsch, BF Uffz. Friedrich Stephan and BM Gefr. Erich Preuß killed)
Andy, It certainly will be interesting to see these notes. I did not know any of such existing.
Best regards
