Re: Wreck in Alikianos of Crete

Ηi Larry,
Kössler`s book didn`t help much, to my opinion it is too complicated and didn`t lead me to any safe conclusions.
Judjing by the number on the tail, if this shows the squadron, the aircraft must have belonged to the 9th Sq, that means KG z.b.V. 1, no other unit had a 9th on Crete.
Besides, the area is not an airfield on the island, Cretans who know assured me about that. The only airport junk yard was Maleme and nowhere else.

Re: Wreck in Alikianos of Crete

In Flugzeug Archiv number 3, mostly devoted to the Ju.52 in the battle for Kreta, at pag. 53 appears the picture of a Ju.52 with a dark painted number 10 on the rudder, under the haken kreuz (and not above it as in the picture posted by Byron). The aircraft alledgely belonged to KGr zbV 106. In another photo appears a rudder with a dark painted 7.
