IV. Fliegerkorps Photo Request (for a Colour Aircraft Profile)

[Dénes Bernád]

I'd need fairly urgently a photo that shows a bomber or a recce aircraft of IV. Fliegerkorps in mid-1941, stationed in Rumania. The photo has to show the whole aircraft, including the fuselage codes and unit emblem (if any). If there is no such photo readily available, a reliable colour profile would also be acceptable.

I don't want to publish it, as I need it for a colour aircraft profile (I still have all my references packed in boxes, as is my scanner, after my overseas move).

Here are the units I have in mind:

• 3.(F)/121, equipped with 10 (6 serviceable) Ju 88Ds and 3 (3) Bf 110s,
• KG 27, equipped with He 111 Hs (87 airplanes; 73 combat ready),
• II./KG 4, also equipped with He 111 Hs,
• Various short-range recce units, equipped mainly with Hs 126s, including units under Koluft 11.

Thank you, in advance.

A kind soul has forwarded me two photos of Heinkel He 111H-5, Werknummer 4024, 1G+GL, 3./KG 27, which force landed near Ossethashka (sp?). The crew of Uffz. Kurt Abromeit was subsequently declared ‘missing in action’ on 8 (or 9?) July 1941. Thanks D.K.!
