Re: Looking for info on Ju 88H-1 +FS

"Ju 88 D-1 ~ T-1 series" - built/converted to Ju 88 H-1 (BMW 801 engines, Extra-Long-Range Recce series), with W.Nr. 430931 and Stkz. "DO+FS is correct (there are other examples known near this, on both sides, of this Stkz.). This aircraft was lost with 3.(F)/123 (Cognac, France) in Atlantic Ocean 31.07.44. (Paul Gruner & crew missing)

NVM shows crew as Ofw.Gunther Langenfeld, Fw. Paul Gruner, Uffz Franz Quetscher, Uffz Franz Banach all missing ( no crew positions shown ), and states aircraft took off at 1800hrs and last message of '' jjj '' ( fighter attck ?) received at 1856 hours. Photo of aircraft under attack by Mosquito of 248 Sqd. in the book 'Bloody Biscay' by Chris Goss. The book 'The Easter Bunnies' and the NVM gives the position when lost as approx. 20 km. west of Pont du Raz
