WNr. 406 was with a recon unit in 1941. It was damaged a couple of times, but not as a total loss.

Re: Looking for damage report on a Ju 88
Thank you again,
But it is strange, the dates don't match. The report I have says: "A ferrying pilot reported on 18/7 (1941) to Technical Officer of 2 Ob.d.L. (at Duenaburg) that after its trial flights had been completed, Ju 88 Wks. No. 406 damaged its undercarriage, as a result of motor failure, at Duenaburg areodrome." This is an intercept translated by the English. |

Re: Looking for damage report on a Ju 88
If the report you have simply says 406 the aircraft involved is not necessarily 0880406 as listed by Jim
You have a lot of aircraft to chose from, all ending on 406 Just a thought Cheers Stig |

Re: Looking for damage report on a Ju 88
Hi Chris,
I wonder myself about that. Do you think there a threshold where damage is not reported ? 10% 15 % ? |
