Hi all.

Especially KrisJG3. This info (fragmentary lists) on Horst Zoeller Junkers website is wrong for so many parts. It also bears no resemblance to be a serious research, appears a collection of bits and pieces (mostly internet sources), assembled apparanty (?) at randon, and has added parameters that are incorrect, and as such, worthless (as a referance) in my opinon.

Unfortunately some do not know this.

Correct prefix was 088xxxx but not J- this and that. J- in Zoellers list is meant to be for Junkers own made planes, but he seemingly does not know this Factory designator here is (088)6xxx for Heinkel/Oranienburg assembled airframes. And this was no A-4 either!

This "put up" example aircraft was an A-5 (but originally A-1). From GQM lists this was "A-1 6043" but by 1942 all surviving A-1s had been upgraded A-5.

088 6043 Ju 88 A-5´ 4D+BK I/KG 30 (Luftflotte 5 East)
OPS (F) dam (20%) by enemy fighter near Kowda [10km North of Kouda Railway Station (i.e. Kovda railway station, which is 13 km from the Kovda village, Kola Peninsula, USSR)] 08.02.1942 (F Uffz. Franz Holesek injured)

(reported A1 6043 in LWFLV losses 54v10.02.42; dam amended ´zero´ in u/24.02.42; Salonen NVM)
- Then this going to IV/KG 30, later loss 100%

But there is no info on 6083 asked for in "Russia" (likely Soviet Union meant, Russia itself was but part of that).

Is this from a photo? Please inform where this number/info comes from.
