Requesting help/info. re. Ju88 AI werk no. 7188 FL+BT 11/KG 76 (I think?)
Hello experts! I wonder if one of you can help solve or supply more details regarding the above aircraft?
The JU88 was flown from Chateaudun Aerodrome, South of Paris, on the night of the 12th of March 1941, to attack the docks at Birkenhead, Liverpool. The Pilot was Feldwebel Guenther Unger. The aircraft caught fire and was abandoned shortly after dropping it's bombs, and later crashed. Firstly, I need to confirm the details of the aircraft if possible? Would it be FL+BT or F1+BT as I am under the impression that KG 76 was prefixed with F1 ? The next detail I am looking for is more details about 11/KG 76. So-far I have only found Do-17's being flown by KG 76 so was the JU88 new for the group or was it far more prevalent? Lastly, can anyone help me with the colours of the lettering please? I have one image of the aircraft but it only shows the unit badge (although partially obscured by shadow) so no idea of the lettering. There is an aircraft behind the aircraft in question which may help with colouring. edit: Now the details have been supplied below, I have removed the picture which I uploaded to help identification. I know there are some great historians here, so any help would be much appreciated. Cheers, MP Last edited by Mysticpuma; 6th May 2013 at 20:48. |
