Re: Identity of Ju 88 Sought?
Hi, Melvin...
Given the light colour of the Ju88, its white rear fuselage band and the Kittyhawk (?) in the foreground, this would appear to be a North African location.
The parent code '2F' was used by several units during the course of the war - KG28, later becoming II./KG54 in September 1939 and retaining the code into early 1940 when the Gruppe adopted the more standard 'B3' code.
However, '2F' was also used by the Stabs-Staffel/St.G.3 when used in combination with the last letter 'A', as seen here. There is also another very well known image of a dismantled Bf110 from the same unit carrying the code 2F+GA in North Africa, so I would hedge a bet that this unit operated the Ju88 in your photo.
Hope this helps you.
Regards,
Paul
