Re: First use of Ju 88 A-4 in KG54

I./KG51 was the first Ju 88 A-4 unit, looking at losses. It was a Lutfflotte 4 unit, so may have shared one or two aircraft with I./KG54. As for I./KG54 itself, it started reporting Ju 88 A-4 losses in October, after the single loss in July. It also had a few Ju 88 A-6s, a rare sub-type. II./KG54 had even more of these and was probably the last unit to use them in combat. The last loss was in late October.

Regards,

Dan
