Looking for further crew info on two KG30 Ju88 Casualty Incidents 9 Oct 1939

[Larry Hickey]

Hello,

Peter Cornwell has recently revised these 9.10.39 incidents in our EoE Luft Loss/Damages/Cas DB:

"9 October 1939 North Sea Operations Add: 1./KG30 Junkers Ju88A. Broke off attack on British warships and returned to Westerland following attack by Do18 over the North Sea 60 miles west of Stavanger 7.15 a.m. Pilot wounded in ankle, rest of crew unhurt. Aircraft damage state not recorded. (Weiss)

9 October 1939 North Sea Operations Add: 3./KG30 Junkers Ju88A. Engine damaged by naval AA fire during attack on British warships and crashed in the Baltic off Kamp during return flight. Pilot baled out and believed rescued unhurt, BO Fw Werner Tillmann baled out but killed, BF Uffz Rudolf Kalitzke and BS Uffz Hans Selck both killed. Aircraft 100% write-off. (Weiss) (None found VDK)"

Does anyone have any more info on this attack, including the time of the attack on the warships & their identity in both incidents, name of the WIA pilot in item 1, or the name of the pilot who bailed out and is believed to have been rescued in item 2? These had to have both be Ju88A-1s, I believe. Does anyone have info on the a/c codes of either of these a/c?

Who can help?
