Seeking history of Ju87B-1 W.Nr. 414

[Larry Hickey]

Hello Matti, Christian and Lino,

My interest in this W.Nr. is not related to the unit with which it was lost, but 9./StG51, with which I believe it served as 6G+AT (the StaKap a/c ?) during the 1940 Western Campaign. The numbers are a little fuzzy in my photos, so this could also be W.Nr.474 or 434. Would you be willing to check those numbers against your data bases as well to see if they show up anywhere? This is for color profile work for the EOE Project.

Regards,

Together with a research friend of mine, Klaus Fischer, we have ordered a while ago the GQM records. If you want to compare one day some NVM records to GQM records, please let me know. (In case, you don't have the GQM records as well). But finally you are right, i also received some very usefull information for this Ju87 research from „Gemeinschaft der Flieger deutscher Streitkräfte e.V.“.
Now i know their source :-) So also thanks to you, Matti.
