Help with photos of Ju88A-1 crashed in France on 09.05.40

[Larry Hickey]

Melvin,

This account about the May 9, 1940 1.(F)/123 Ju88A-1 loss is absolutely wonderful! Too bad we don't have such documents on all the Phoney War LW losses. There is an important clue here to the full code of the crashed aircraft shown in the photo provided by Frederic Henoff, which I now have. The source of the debriefing report, the Bordfunker, Uffz Ewald Stratmann, refers to their plane as "Anton" which indicates to me that it was coded 4U+AH. Is that consistent with your information? The full code would be new information for our loss DB.

I will provide you with Frederic's direct email address, and you can work out the acquisition of the photo of this a/c directly with him. We haven't been in touch for about three years, and I hope that your email address is still the same. If it isn't, please send me an email with your updated address. I will respond. I would very much appreciate a copy of the photo of the four crewmen to which you refer. That would be the icing on the cake!

Regards,
