Re: Ju88 A-4 W. Nr. 8721 V4+VR - lost over Russia - any further info?
Hey guys,
100% that the W. Nr. is 8721, as they main data plate was found with it. I always get confused on the tail codes, vs. Stkz. The tail photo showed "ER", so I just assumed a typo occurred, when I wrote "VR"... 8721 is the correct plane...so the Stkz must be V4+VR...and the tail code another number ending in "ER" ? |

The issue is that the W.Nr. is 8721...not 2555.
