Re: Junkers Ju-53 Wreck near Odessa, the Black Sea port in southern Ukraine ?

The Aircraft as recorded flew from Targsorul-Nou which is a city in Targsorul Nou, Prahova, Romania

But the Transport Aircraft of Group 104 (4./KGr.z.b.V. 104 Group) in January 1942 was based at Nikolayev - Ukraine from 9.41 - (?) 3.42 , Air Fleet 4 Ju 52.

So possible it was flying from Targsorul Nou - Prahova Romania to may be Nikolayev (Mykolaiv) - Ukraine where its base was.

If you look at the attached map Odessa falls on the Flight Path. and may be the flight was lost due to Attacks by Russian Aircraft or due to technical failure.



Is there any more information on the Final destination of the Aircraft and the Crew from any other source ?

Many Thanks

Regards

Sujoy
