Re: JU88 loss ON 23 Dec 1942 near Axat in the South west of France
Guys, thanks for your comments and your ideas.
Facts :
1) date is 23 Dec 1942; This is 100% sure, as we have a clear Gendarmerie report dated 23 Dec 1942 describing the crash.
2) A/C Type: unsure.
this report clearly states "Junkers88" but we don't know what they considered to write this. Markings on the wreck ? the best way to be sure of the A/C type is to go on site and find parts. This is planned in the months to come.
3) no bodies were found on site. (cf report)
Ed, the JU290 you mention may be our bird, but do you know if the crew survived or was killed ? if crew was killed, this JU290 cannot be our bird.
look forward to your comments.
GC
