Re: Crew of Ju 88 7A+KH
From
Christopher Shores and Brian Cull with Nicola Malizia Malta : The Hurricane Years, 1940-41.
Page 138
26/1/41
Yet a further Ju88 was reported missing over Malta on 26th., this time from the reconnaissance unit 1(F)/121. This aicraft (7A + DH) flown by Lt Helmut Fund was intercepted by two Hurricanes at 1630 when flying at 10,000 feet, and had been chased all the way back to the coast of Sicily. When last seen the rear gunner had been silenced and smoke was issuing from the port engine, but shortage of fuel forced the fighters to turn away, obviously the attack had been more effective than the Hurricane pilots realized.
