Re: Looking for info on force-landed Ju88A 4U+UL of 3.(F)/123

Hi, folks...

Sorry, just a little confused... how do we know this is a D-5 particularly?

On the link provided by Larry, there's a Kopierschutz ticket superimposed across the tail, which is most likely where the Werk.Nr. would've been displayed. So is there a clearer photo available to someone that shows a Werk.Nr. that would confirm D-5 status? I agree it has all the hallmarks of an A-4 airframe, so presuming this is the corresponding reconnaissance version, the sub stype - based on what we see following Larry's link - could as easily be an earlier Ju88D-1, which according to the Squadron/Signal Junkers Ju88 in Action, part 1 publication, first entered service in early 1941.

Regards...

Paul
