Re: Interesting French Gendarmerie report about a crashed Ju 88
Dear Jérémie,
I am no expert, but have a pretty good Ju 88 database. I have Ju 88 A-5 (W.Nr. 4293) from the QM loss list as 100% loss (cause unknown) on 31.7.42 (no location given) with 10. KG 77. My entry has the Verbandkennzeichen (3Z+HU), but not the Stammkennzeichen. My data indicates W.Nr. 4293 was built at Norddeutsche Dornier Werke. I am trying to check and confirm the Stammkennzeichen in the Gendarmerie report as it is a series I have not seen before.
This is not an unusual event in Luftwaffe research, you find two “original” sources for the same event and they do not always agree. That fact just shows how hard to be really definitive in your research. Thank you for posting this information hope I was of some help.
