Ju 88 G-6 C9+AC Hans Leickhardt --> W.Nr. known?

[David E. Brown]

Hi Roger,

WNr.621832 might be a good candidate for C9+AC. Its camouflage scheme appears similar to that of the following machines as revealed by photos:

• 621790, --+--, unknown, Neubiberg
• 622126, 4R+PP, 6.II.NJG 2, b. Fl.Horst Illesheim
• 622186, D5+AC, Stab.II.NJG 3, Müller, AirMin 33, FuG 218 Neptun, Grove
• 622322, U5+NT, 9.III.KG 2 then V.NJG 2, Brunnthal

It appears that the above were finished in overall RLM 76 over which were applied large mottles of RLM 75. An application of either a highly lighted RLM 76 or white was applied in large irregular patches on the fuselage top and sides, and, the tail-rudder assembly. Subsequent machines had their uppersurfaces finished in overall RLM 75 over which was applied a net- or mackerel-like scheme of lightened RLM 76.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

David
