Mystery Ju 88 Loss
Just obtained a photo which shows a ditched Ju 88 presumably off the French Coast. On the reverse it states:
Emergency-landed Ju 88 on the return flight from London. Crew of 4 men was rescued by Flak battery. Was on the night of September 27, 1940, 1 a.m. Lost orientation due to rain and fog and pursued by English fighters over London. Neither Matti or myself can come up with any matches. A III./KG 51 aircraft was reported overdue that night but this night is missing from the KTB. The Lagebericht mentions the loss of a Ju 88 but that is all. Any thoughts?
