Hello Waldo Pepper,

This is a well-known LIFE color photo taken at Abstellplatz/Schattenplatz Brunnthal south of München.

I do not understand to what aircraft belongs the vertical tailfin on he right with wnr. (66)17

[S Sheflin]

Hello pelagonia,

Unless I am mistaken, the aircraft to which you refer with the white numerals 0017 on its fin is Ju88A/V17, WNr. 880017, St.Kz. DI+MW.

Sorry for barging in like this, but was WNr 0017 really the V17?

Looking in Medcalf's Ju 88 book, he manage to contradict himself on the same page (36), saying in the table, the V17 was 88009 while in the second column state the V17 was WNr 0017.

From other sources I have that WNr 880017 had the STKZ BB+AF

What is actually correct?

Cheers
Stig

Steve and Stig, thank you very much both!

BB+AF was given on the old LEMB as a He45 with FFS A/B 51 from 1940-10 to 1941-04 as comment on this picture source expired Ebay

Stammkennzeichen.de gives Ju88V17 as former D-AEAG.

Btw, where is "Badkirchen"? A location named that way can´t be found...

Thanks Peter/Roland

What a mess! I have 880012 to 880020 listed as BB+AA to BB+AI which now seems quite incorrect....

Any taker vs V17 and its WNr?

Cheers
Stig
