Ju 88 A Wk Nr 6019

[Chris Goss]

Has anyone got any history of this aircraft which was an A-4/A-5 either seen at Kolberg late 1941/early 1942 or with IV/KG 40 at Chateaudun mid-1942

Seems to be an A-1 who finds his way as an A-5 possibly

2 7 43 BM FFS C6 Kolberg FP L BF JU88A-7 6019 30
11 8 43 BM FFS C6 Kolberg FP L JU88A-7 6019 20
29 2 44 LF Reich FFS B6 Kolberg FP BR BF JU88A-1 6019 65

Nothing about the period with the KG40

Must be FFS C6 then. A logbook from the same source says that the only Ju 88 A-7 he flew was in Dec 41 and Jan 42 BK+NV & PC+CH

Hi Chris,

Ju 88 BK+NV was A-1 / 5 / A-7,
Ju 88 PC+CH was likely A-1 / 5 / A-7 too,
Ju 88 6019 was also A-1 / 5 / A-7 too (but most likely had other Stkz.)!

if still a problem, an PM to me should clear up this issue.

Best regards

Ed: In the Flugbuch for these ac he says Ju 88 A-7?

Most interesting. Pilot in question flew CA+EM a number of times on 19 Nov 42 but has it as an A-5?

Hi Chris;

Most interesting to me too. Wonder what ArtieBob has to say on this.
(Chris: Offer for PM still stands)

Conversion from A-5 to A-7 is very soft, maybe double-pilot commands..

nothing that makes big differences

Seems that Peter is not aware with the School-units ???
