Dear RudiS,

You caught us yesterday an interesting case. This burning Ju 88 G-1 seems to my eyes to bear the W.Nr. 714053.

If this is confirmed, W.Nr. 714053 from 2./NJG 101 crashed 19 October 1944 at 20.38 at Geroldshausen in der Hallertau, close to Ingolstadt from where it took off, killing all its crew (FF Lt. Erwin Köstner, BF Uffz Alfred Bormann, BS Gefr. Heinrich Köhler). I of course stand corrected against the caption stating this machine was blown-up 17 May 1945 at Braunschweig.
