Re: JU88 PICTURE
Well, if you're asking me what it is .......
The unit marking could be L1. I don't know if or when LG1 changed to smaller Geschwader codes like most KG a/c.
The a/c code is B or R and appears yellow, indicating a 3rd staffel a/c, but gruppe is unknown.
The single dorsal MG limits it to an A-1 or S-3. The wing ailerons look to end before the end of the wing, suggesting a long-wing Ju88, which rules out the A-1. The open hatch under the fuselage looks more like just a hatch rather than the open rear-end of a gondola, which would be consistent with an S-3.
LG1 flew S-3s from mid 1944 to end-1944.
Cheers
Peter
