Bf110 wreck, USSR, july 1942, need help to identify.
Hello gentlemen.
Here are the parts of Bf110, I believe, Emil, found near Semikarakorskaya, Rostov-on-Don region. Witnesses say, it was shot down by soviet AAA in late july 1942. 3 crew member bailed out, but found dead near crashsite. Very little is left from aircraft. Parts of engine, small debrises, and parts of engine armour plates are found. On one of rusty armour plates, text is found: WrN. 4 4 _ _, third sign seems to be 3, or 6, or 8, or 9, or 0. Also, two unexploded sc50 were found. Other two exploded on impact of aircraft. There is one loss in 5./ZG1, 20 july 42, W. Nr 4400, but place is Sulinskaja, wich is rather far to NE from actual crash place. So, it could be aufklarungs Bf110?

Matti.
100% accurancy. Pl.Qu. 0862 is a kilometer away from wreck site. Gentlemen: Are there any photo of S9+JP and Erich Le Claire? I believe I saw it in one of the perfect John Vasco's books. Quote:
