Oberst Josef Kammhuber's Ju 88 A-1

Gents,

On June 3, 1940, Oberst Josef Kammhuber, Geschwaderkommodore of KG 51, was forced to make an emergency landing of his Ju 88 A-1 aircraft “9K+AA” at Cocherel, France following damage from French fighter attacks and anti-aircraft fire, whereupon he was captured and became a POW.

My question is, do we know the werknummer of this machine?

Many thanks,

David

The WNr.088 0322 could not be correct, because that plane was manufactured during July 1940.

According to Peter Cornwell, it was not recorded. I was in touch with one of the crew but apart from +AA, that is all he knew

Re: Oberst Josef Kammhuber's Ju 88 A-1

Extract from an available report:S.H.A.A 2 D 19-Vincennes

Around 14.00 an airplane is shot down a Cocherel (Ju.88 A.1 serial no.88 322)
9K+AA
Oberst Josef Kammhuber (prisoner)
Lt Horst Kroesch (prisoner
Lt Werner Luderitz (prisoner
Ufzz Karl Schneider (wounded and prisoner)

Shared between S/Lt Salva(GC I/3) and S/Lt Thollon(GC I/8)

Difficult to make more precise,also it seems that it's well the 88 322

My research indicates components for this batch (about 0321 to 0360) were produced in May & June and airframe likely was already in assembly by (before) beginning of July, possibly awaiting first flight around this time. It may however have been delivered in July 1940, closest Ju 88 A-1 0323 was first flown 04.07.40, and 0324 the day before that - but I am missing several planes first flights in this period etc. - and planes were apparently not assembled or delivered is strict numerical order (but just generally ascending order). But as more and more info is found, one can give such statements.

Source: Own interpolation of RLM GL Production Plans, Reports of Panes assembled per month, actual deliveries, Serial Parts plates (found), Test Pilots Logbook (first flight) entries, and finding an formula to puzzle this all together.

But I too think W.Nr. can be "inpricise" (not 0880322 ) but 88.322 be number from Component Part plate (A-1 Querruder, Links, Stoffbespannt)
