German Ju 88 Wasserlandung Sep 21, 1941

[Kari Lumppio]

Hallo!

Below are photos from Finnish SA-archive (http://sa-kuva.fi/webneologineng.html)

SA 50530


According the caption Ju 88 was shot down in flames 16.55 o'clock Finnish time after battle with Soviet fighters. Location is Terijoki* and the photo has been taken immediately after the incident.

I do not know anything about the Ju 88 at this moment. Haven't had time etc.

There are couple of interesting details:

There is some kind of inscription on nose:


There is also something on the fin:



At first I thought it is some anomaly on the negative or so, but the scribble on fin can be seen on two different photos - SA-photo 50531 and 50532 - at least. Load the bigger version from the SA-kuva site to see yourselves.

Intermediate quality photos below:
SA 50531


SA 50532



If someone can solve this case, good. I would like to know more.


Thanks in advance and Happy Easter!

Kari
