Re: Entry into service with Recon Squadrons of the Ju88

Little bit delayed, but hopefully of some interest as additional, i've found the following in the book "Deckname 'Briefwaage'" on pages 38/39:

1. Picture of a Ju 88 of 1./(F) 123, crash-landed on 9th May 1940 at Azy (France) and blown up by own crew.
2. Picture of a Ju 88 of (F) 123 with call-sign 4U+GH.
3. Picture of a Ju 88 of (F) 123 with call-sign 4U+EH, crash-landed April 1940 due to undercarriage failure.

2. and 3. are taken at Langendiebach. Keeping in mind that the crews had to be trained/type-rated on a new a/c it is pretty much reasonable that (F) 123 was equipped with the Ju 88 some remarkable weeks before joining active service in the unit.

Cheers
Norbert
