Re: Stuka lost in Gembloux (Belgium)

Hervé,

Thanks for posting this. I'm not aware that there are any other images of this incident in the EOE DB for Stuka losses during the WC. However, there are lots of unidentified photos for Ju87s apparently downed during that period and this may eventually help put a unit and codes to them. I note that this a/c did not carry the 8 Staffel insignia. Can you tell from your possible access to the original print if that large white area below the cockpit is a white stain on the print, or possibly be something like part of an unfurled parachute or something? Looks like a stain on the print to me.

Again, thanks for sharing this very interesting photo. Looks like it sat in place for quite a while until salvaged.

Regards,
