Hi all,
On 29 April 1940 JU 52 Werk nr 5153 of III/KGr zbv 1 was lost off the coast of "Kilhina" or "Kiltina" due to engine failure I believe. Does anyone have more details of this loss, crew, passenger losses etc. Thanks for any possible help, Zippy Addition : In the JU 52 loss list the year is partially obscured and only" 29.04.19--" can be read so it may have been lost on the same date later in the war. |

Re: JU 52 loss 29 April 1940
I've found that the year of loss was 1942 and the island was "Kithina" but the only Kithina I can find is in Kenya which is obviously not the location.

Re: JU 52 loss 29 April 1940
Hello Zippy,
in the GQM two Ju 52 5152 are listed. GQM 6 May 1942 item 129: 29.4. 12./K.G.z.b.V. 1 bei Insel Kithira Notlandung auf See, Besatzung unverletzt. Ju 52 5152 100%. Handwritten addition: loss category 22 = destroyed without enemy action on a non-operational flight / Totalverlust bei Ausbildungs- und sonstigem Flug ohne Feindauftrag. GQM 7 Sep 1943 item 115: 25.8. San.Flugber. 3 Poltawa, Rollschaden Ju 52 5152 20%. The WNr. 5152 in the 6 May 1942 entry is a typo. Regards Leo |
