Re: Ju 88 A-4 "factoids"

Adding ...
(088)5501 Ju 88 A-4 [GA+RA] Luftwaffe
Known Einflug at ATG Leipzig/Mockau 25.04.41 - F.T.Flug 30.04.41, again F.T. 04.05.41 - F.T. u. Motornachflug 09.05.41 - Justierflug 12.05.41 - Nennleistungsflug 12.05.41 - Stück-prüfungsflug 13.05.41 - Nachflug 26.05.41 - Known Überführung from ATG Leipzig/Mockau to Grossenhain 19.06.41
[F Rolf Baltabol; as Ju 88 GA+RA 5501 in log]

- Ju 88 A-4 IV/KG 54 (Lw.Befh.Mitte)
Non-OPS (H) pilot error on landing (30%) at Wiener-Neustadt Airfield 29.10.1943

- Ju 88´ JFM-FRB (Luftwaffe)
Fuselage reported Levallois (repair/storage) for JFM-FRB Villacoublay 03.05.1944 [reported as “5501” in FRV doc]

It last was with IV/KG 54, but last I know of it was in France (possibly not yet finished in repair) ... just before Allied Forces invaded France, to liberate it from German occopation, then the Allied continuing onto Germany. ;-)
But the French also (willingly) invited Germans later, via Coal and Steel Union ... not?

Rainer (#1) Correct, many were reassigned without known accidents, 5501 appears one of them, but as I have Ju 88´s combined in continued list its handy check each one or any words by simple word search. But there are certain gaps and also errors in the loss lists (both proven and suspected).
