Re: Need ID of Ju88A of KG30 burned out in Holland 1940
Thanx for the comments, both on and off-board. It appears that Pieter has specifically identified my photo, and indicated that there were eleven KG30 Ju88s down in Holland during between 10.5 and 14.5.40. Rob van den Nieuwendijk has kindly sent me this summary of nine of those losses. We now have aircraft codes for two of these. Can anyone provide more codes and the identity of the other two losses? (Pieter??). Also what photos are known of any of these losses? At least three more of these appear to have come down relatively intact, which should allow their aircraft codes to be documented from likely photos. I think that I might have a series of photos of Item #9. I'll have to check on this one.
1) 10 May 40 Ju88A-2 of Stab I./KG 30 at Ede - crashlanded - hit by Dutch Flak in right engine; of crew 3 POW and one died of wounds.(This is the one that Pieter H. has apparently provided info about my photo: 4D+CL (see above).
