Seeking photos of I./NJG 2 Ju88 Nightfighters during 1940

[Larry Hickey]

Hello,

As you all know, we're developing a massive profile project for the EOE Book series. We've nearly completed laying out the various Ju88 requirements for each of seven primary volumes during 1939-40. To finish this, I've now determined that I'm going to need photo & info reference packages for at least four Ju88s for Stab I, 1, 2 and 3./NJG2 for each of the two volumes for Sept., 1940, and the final quarter (Oct-Dec, 1940) of 1940 (eight profiles total). I have no Ju88 photos for this unit (code R4) in the EOE photo DB, as I've never put much emphasis on researching the NJG units for the second half of 1940. Can anyone propose and/or refer me to any candidates for the component units of I./NJG 2 for this period? There must be enough existing info from photos to accurately portray the markings of each of these a/c. The emphasis should be on a/c with known full a/c codes, W.Nr., and/or crews, and could includes ones that may have been lost or crash-landed. I'm not looking for anything that wouldn't represent an a/c that served with these units after 31 December 1940, although ones photographed a few weeks into 1941 remain possible candidates if they carried markings representative of the end-1940 period. I believe that these will all turn out to be either Ju88C-2 or C-4 variants.

I know that there are several excellent books (and experts) on the NJG units, and I'm particularly hoping that they can be of help. I'm no expert on this area, and I need to rely on others to help chose and document the info packages for these profiles.

Who can help?

Regards,
