I thought the same Remi,

it`s definitely a german plane, the document comes from a german war diary;

can`t locate the unit with that code, i hoped somebody else can

Hi all

This was the Ju 88 A-5 / 5277 from 6./LG 1, which crashed because engine trouble on 26. July 1941 near Kerkyra/Korfu into the water.
The crew was: Lt Horst Drognitz + / Uffz Hans Broemel wounded / Uffz Herbert Puchert + / Uffz Erich Wrusch +.
My source is LG 1/1, page 457.

best wishes

Somehow the document speaks of a "dreimot. Flugz.", or three-engined airplane....

Italian planes mostly had three-engine (Cant 1007, Savoias, etc.) and the code number - maybe italian code ?? - any specialist for italian airplanes there ??

The message is: "Just received message as follows from the Italian Navy as follows: "Navy Korfu announces, that on 26.07.1941, 10.30, a three-mot a/c BCIZ 329 turned over during emergency ditching attempt, 2 dead, 2 seriously injured."
I understand this message as coming from the Regia Marina with no LW a/c involved.

Hi

Was the 329 aircraft serial? What kind of aircraft??

BCIZ 329 is not the acronym of any type of Italian aircraft: it’s possible it was a civilian aircraft (code I-BCIZ flight 329) but it’s only a supposition.

It can`t be a plane of LG 1, although the date matches.

Hi all

The skz of the Ju 88 A-5 / 5277 was "BC + IZ"
Is this fact convincing ?
