What is the "Holy Grail" of Luftwaffe Research

[VtwinVince]

On a personal level, for me it would be finding my uncle's missing logbook from the BoB, and finding a good photo of his personal 109, 'Yellow 13' of 9. JG 3.

Wow-o-wow, that's incredible.

April, 45.. Berlin.
Would love to know EXACTLY what landed and took off in the TierGarten. Actual logbooks and records would be great. Photos?!

There is an excellent, long and very detailed thread on this topic over on Axis History Forum. Have you seen it?

Hello!
Your photo probably shows this He 111 during a stopover at Gael (not "Yael") airfield, ca 40km W of Rennes town.

Hi JVM,

You are probably right that Gael was meant. And then it can't be a TGr 30 Heinkel in an Atlantic fortress. Pity.
Perhaps sometime before that. Thank you for solving that little mystery.

What about that mythic colour picture of the III/JG2 black 6+I Fw190D with Ta152 tail Wnr. 600545...
Should have appear in a documentary about the Hitlerjugend on the Belgian Televison
Should have been published in a 3 volume work, covering Kriegsmarine, Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe and having at least one colour section
What about some clear and better pictures of Karoband Bf109s, Fw190A (I know, one exist) or D,
What about pictures of Fw190D from JG6 with the red/white/red bands (I concur with John's grail here)
...

I was wondering about that as well. Where are the photos and documentation of Fw-190 D9s with Ta-152 tails? What's the story there? Was there only one of them or something?

To Mysticpuma, re Ju 88G-7.

Thank you for trying, but those are both a mis-identified Ju 88G-6. So are all published photos captioned as Ju 88G-7 until a wonderfully clear image was found on ebay about a year ago.

I have 'cleaned up' the photo in photoshop.Attachment 13348 Note the large round air scoop and smaller radiator of a Jumo 213E.

Attatched thumbnail is a copy of the original ebay photo.

So, is this new? No proven. Sorry. There were G-7 prototypes, and this has not been proven be production G-7, as it could be one of them prototypes or (first(s)) of pre-series converted from stock G-6. Only engines & props (and radar) AND one more detail (!) made the small difference from G-6 to G-7.

Too many loose ends. But I have pointed out this many times before:
mr. sirbob should write it correctly ("Ju 88 G-7" against "Ju 88G-7")
