1st Dec. 1943 - Who damaged a Ju 88 ?
Hello,
On 1st of December 1943, an "allied aircraft" (probably from RAF) damaged a Ju 88 D-1 at the point 14 W 486 (Luftwaffe grid). The Ju 88 could go back to its base, but a crewman was killed and an other was wounded Which was this "allied aircraft" ? Thank you in advance Pierre BABIN |

Hi Pierre:
Chris Goss' excellent "Bloody Biscay" says this aircraft was damaged by Typhoons. Cheers, Mark |

Thanks to Michal, edNorth and Mark
Hello,
Thanks to you, guys, for your replies. To edNorth : I have neither the code, nor the werknummer of the the Ju 88 ... and I would wish, too, to get them ! I'm specially interested with the Wekusta 2 which operated in West of France from July 1940 to August 1944 ... a very "french carreer" ! To Mark : I have, now, the Chris GOSS' "Bloody Biscay" book ... and I agree with you Mark : it's a remarkable book ! (congratulations and thanks to Chris ... if he reads this message !) Au revoir Pierre |
