Thanks Larry. Question did the number of total number ofpersonal stayed the same or was it halved ?

Approximately a third of the Flughafenbetriebskompanien were removed from the Kampfgeschwader and renamed Flughafenbetriebskompanien (Qu) on or about 10 January 1943. There was no change in the number of personnel. Unlike the FBK, which was attached to a Kampfgruppe and traveled wherever it did, the new FBK (Qu) was independent, assigned directly under the Chef Ingenieur of a Luftflotte, and could be used anywhere the Luftflotte wanted. Other than sunbordination and mobility, they were identical.

Thank you Leo. Can you tell me about the numbers 43 which start the tail code?

Best,
Ed

Hi Ed,

I am no Ju 88 specialist, I only know that there was a D-1 block 430xxx. The serial 430783 is clearly visible in the photo of the 7A+EM.

Regards
Leo
