Re: Ju88 w/nr.2170 KG77 crash 11-12/11/1940
088 2170 was Ju 88 A-5 3Z+AL but at its loss 09 ~ 10 April 1941.
Code "A" found on wreckage, seems confirm so.
It was Ju 88 A-1 earlier,
but no code given for 25% damage incident 11.11.1940
and no crew injured either.
Personal note here (not an personal attack!): Thinking any particular Ju 88 (in Bob or Blitz, or Russian campaign etc, or war period) kept its code for long time is totally wrong. Frequent examples are of planes changing codes very often. Planes very frequently changed their individual Gruppen codes and were "loaned" (or transferred) all over the Geschwader. Even cases of code carried for one single day are known.
088 3255, do not know of source for code. My list is blank.
But was actually not "100%" on 11.11.40, despite GQM say so,
and no code given in NVM (Salonen). It later was three engined "Ju 88/3m" ;-)
i.e. one BMW jet engine added for flight testing but that is just another story.

Reason: forgot mention A-1 vs A-5 error in EOE listings.
