George E. Preddy's Ju 88 kills

Thanks Mark!

Does that mean that there are other Ju 88 kills or does it mean Preddy never shot down any Ju 88s? His victories list contains both, it seems.

The only other Ju 88 credited to Preddy is a shared victory on April 22nd, 1944. He also claimed one Ju 88 on the ground during the same encounter at the A/D at Stade.

Thanks Mark!

Are there any more details known about this encounter? Who was the second shooter? What kind of Ju 88 was it?

[Mark Proulx]

First, I have to clear up an error from my earlier posting. The ground claim was in fact a Ju 52 that Preddy claimed at an airfield S and E of Stade. He went there after reforming with the squadron after the Stade encounter.

The Ju 88 was shared with Lt. Kessler.

I can't tell you any details of the Ju 88. Perhaps a posting on the Luftwaffe Forum of TOCH would net some answers for you.

Thanks Mark, I'll do that!

See my reply on the Luftwaffe Forum regarding the 22-April-44 shared Ju-88.

BTW, you are usually better off to post such a question on one or the other forum, not both, unless you do not get any responses.
