Re: The Ju88C-equipped Zerstörerstaffel of KG 30 during 1940

Chris,

You and Doug have gone a long way towards answering most of my questions. A terrific response! Thanks for this detail.

Are the pilot/plane identifications based upon FB entries or is there a surviving KTB for this unit during the spring, 1940 period? Do photos exist of any of these other aircraft during this period?

Can anyone else confirm that Uffz Heinz Strüning was the pilot of the crashed 4D+MH, as Chris proposes? The salvaged a/c is 4D+FH, and, as Ed North has just posted, my original question is about 4D+MH. Is this a C-1 (short wings like the A-1) or a C-2 (extended wings like the A-5)?

Since the Ju88Cs of this unit all apparently carried 1 Staffel coding, does this mean that they flew as part of 1./KG30, or did they operate as a separate unit? How did this work?

Regards,
