Re: Abandonned German Fighters

No, I do not think its "Ju 88 A-4 Torp" (alias Ju 88 A-4 LT), as some did have Gondola, rather based my "assuption" on shape of Torpedo steering gear housing and possible unit. Besides II/KG 26 only (?) had A-17īs up in Norway in late 1944 and early 1945. There are photos of some there retaining Gondolas. But it could of course be "old horse" from earler days, or one from other (training) unit.

But here text writer at asisbiz.com probably errs, in that I Gruppen KG 26 had been absorbed by II Gruppen KG 26 in early 1945, to bring strength up. but exact date for this Gondola equipped A-17 photo is not stated.
