Ju88 loss July 1944
Hello, Forumites.
I am researching the loss of a Ju88 which occured on the 26th July 1944 in France. The aircraft concerned was from I/KG54 - B3+GK, WrNr 140521. Does anybody know when/where this aircraft was built and its service history until its loss during the Normandy campaign in 1944? Tia Andy Bigweeker |

Hi Andy,
it was built at Junkers Flugzeug -u. Motorenwerke AG Bernburg in January 1943. Stammkennzeichen ND+RU. That is all I have. Norbert |

Re: Ju88 loss July 1944
Now the question appears on the horizon: How important is it to be able to understand German, when dealing with the German aviation history?
Hmm...Apparently it is not important. Regards Peter |

Good point. Learning German in school 40 years ago makes one get rusty over the years. Else, I feel this discussion be sinking below the topic question horizon.

Re: Ju88 loss July 1944
Just another small question:
What would the colour scheme have been at that time? The standard Green/dark green/Hellblau or would it have the Grey/Mattblack finish. tia AB |

Re: Ju88 loss July 1944
I understand German and I wouldn't want to be without it. On the other hand, some very good work is done by people who know very little of the language. It's when people who don't know German don't check with someone who does that trouble arises, I think.
