Re: Seeking ID of Ju87B Crashed near Maastricht during WC of 1940
Hello all,
Related to the post above about profiles for III./StG2 aircraft, I'm looking for photos, preferably with known pilot/gunner, for a Stab III./StG2 and a 9./StG2 profile for the two Western Campaign (WC -- May/June, 1940) volumes in the EOE book series. I have an excellent candidate for a Polish Campaign Stab III./StG2 aircraft (Do17P-1, T6+CD, WNr.4123), but no really good Stab III or 9 Staffel Ju87B aircraft photos representing either the Polish Campaign or the Phoney War period. There are a couple of photos in the French ECPA-D Luft Collection of 9 Staffel a/c for the PC, but nothing for an entire a/c. Same for Volume I (July-Aug, 1940) of the Battle of Britain. I'm hoping someone will come forward with good prospects to help us fill these gaps. We have the unit diary (KTB) for III./StG2 for the PC, so if someone has photos of a relatively intact crash, or a crew with their aircraft, or even just an a/c with plane code and W.Nr. visible, we may be able to relate these photos to the KTB info. From memory, I don't believe a KTB exists for III./StG2 for periods in 1939-1940 after the PC.
Can anybody help?
Regards,
