JD417 - 78 Squadron Ju.88 Claim
Hello Everyone:
Can anyone help me identify the Ju.88 shot down by Halifax JD417 of 78 Squadron over Hanover on the night of 8th October 1943? Any help/advice on aircraft/crew identity would be gratefully received. I have tried Google search but nothing happens for me! With kind regards - Malcolm. |

Hello Hans:
Thank you for reply and very interesting information. I have only just viewed it although it is nearly two years old! I am just sorry that I did not see it soon to thank you. How I have missed it I do not know. However, better late than never! Once again – Many thanks. |
