Re: Ju88A-?

Ju 88 A-1 W.Nr. 4136 (3Z+BB) was lost on 3 October 1940, so it appears to be the correct aircraft. You didn't identify the photo source, but there was one in the old Battle of Britain book on p.430-431, perhaps that is correct? This was listed in my sources as an A-1 which fits the W.Nr. sequence. Some of the A-1s were retrofitted with the longer span wings, I am not 100% certain they were redesignated as A-5s at that point. Also many Ju 88s had modified defensive gun installations about this time, so thatis also not an absolute ID point.

Best Regards,

Artie Bob
