Re: Seeking history of Ju88A-5 W.Nr. 6145 with Stab III./KG51

GRM,

Thanks, this does help.

Obviously this a/c was transferred from the Stab of III./KG51 sometime after the fall of 1940. It appears to have originally carried the code 9K+BD, but the "B" was crudely overpainted with a "C" when the black night finish was applied to the undersides for The Blitz. There are about 10 photos of this plane in the ECPA Collection in Paris.

Regards,
