Hi Rémi,

I assume that it's just a mistake made by the British. I'm not aware that such a subtype existed and I never found any evidence (photos, accounts) from I./KG66 veterans that they ever had such a type. As can be shown from the list by Seaplanes (Thank you, BTW!), I only knew that at this stage of the war they flew the Ju 188 D-2.

But maybe experts like Ed North and Artie Bob can enlighten us about this aircraft by judging from the W.Nr.?

Hi Clint,

Here it is, you can see the aircraft code above the swastika so it's not the one on the front page of your book.

BTW: Is the "Le Culot" book any good? Does it contain photos of Ju 88s (wrecks or not..) or lists of aircraft found on the airfield?

Regards,

Marcel
