Rottler / Jo Me
You are confusing three aircraft, info was on Ju 88 A-5 0882203 V4+IV (not A-4). Besides there is doupt on the amendment on L1+GN is correct as there is second A-4 ´2203 loss in 10.1942. I do keep A-4 140073 and A-4 142203 info but amendment is a sidenote. But amendment might be correct, but spurious, but then not a W.Nr. but a "Production Line Number" (fuselage Serial). A line number is known close to 140073 manufactoring month that suggests so, but does not prove it. |
