Re: Reference photos for 9./KG4 - 9./KG30
Hi, Larry...
Not sure if the undernoted is an image you're familiar with. Unfortunately, I don't have any accompanying information as to exact location or time period.
However, it is clearly a Ju88A-1 from 9./KG30. I would suggest full code was 4D+IT, given the letter 'I' shown under the wing. The use of a vertical formation bar set at the rudder hinge line would seem to place it around the Battle of Britain in the summer of 1940.
Although tentatively credited to Kampfgruppe 806 at the time of publication in the 1970s, a good image of the bat/moon emblem appears on a downed Ju88 on page 31 of Smith & Gallaspy's Luftwaffe Camouflage & Markings 1935-45 Vol.2 (Kookaburra). I imagine we would now perhaps take this to be of III./KG30.
Hope this might help in some way.
Regards,
Paul
