Re: KG77 Ju88 crash Waxham Norfolk 5/5/41
Bill,
From another secondary source "Air Raid" by Michael Bowyer (1986). Page 179. "Anti-Aircraft gunners too had their successes, as proven by the arrival of Ju 88A-5 W Nr 6027:3Z+EC soon after 04.00 on 5 May off Waxham, Norfolk. It had left Schiphol at 22:42 for Belfast, anti-aircraft fire on the English west Coast piutting the port engine out of action. Bombs were jettisoned and the crew headed for base, albeit with most instrumentation out of use. Trying instead to land on the shore, they hit sand dunes and the aircraft broke up, injuring three of the crew and killing one."
