Re: Ju 88 A on Normandy Coast May 41
Radtke says the following about the May 1st incident on page 62:
"The crew of Gefr Klokowsky (sic) of 1./KG54 tries to make it home with the left engine shot up. At midnight with the french coast in sight the a/c flies only at about 100 meters. The crew tries to bale out but apparently only the BS Ogefr Bender succeeds in doing so. He manages to swim to the coast. The rest of the crew perishes."
We also know that only 2 of the 3 bodies were recuperated from the a/c. The body of the BS was never found as far as I know.
To me this doesn't sound like an a/c that belly landed at the beach. More like an a/c that crashed into the sea several hunderds of meters of the coast.
