GdC26 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Coat of armsI?d put my money on the rather exotic Junckers G 38, of which according to LW im Focus, Volume 6, page 15, only two were built. Check out the comparison shot of the G 38 which I picked up from the web. Hope of use, Best, Sandro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GdC26 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Lookin good Sandro many thanks again for the help Entirely my pleasure. According to Luftwaffe im Focus, one of the G 38?s was pressed into service under designation "GF + GG". This plane was subsequently destroyedon May 17, 1941, during low level allied raids at Athens Tatoi airfield, while serving with KGr. z.b. V. 172. The pic shown in LW im Focus shows the aircraft in Norway, while serving with KGr. z. b. V. 107. Perhaps this info can be traced back to your grouping? Not sure what happened to the other Junckers G 38.Best, Sandro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon F Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 Unfortunately Steve I have been away quite alot this year and still have a three month trip to go, so my research time is negligible. What is posted here is all there is to the group, so no Soldbuchs, Wehrpass, etc with this lot Where did you manage to find out this other info? If you dont mind me asking?

If you dont mind me asking?Hiya Devonrex,Just got in from work!The information i supplied you came from the publication," Die geschichte Des Lehrgeschwader 1, vol.1 " by Peter Taghon.A superb book charting the history of this unit listing all known lossesfrom 1936-1942. Very recommended!It sounds like you have a lot on! at the moment, precious little time for research,thats not good. Many thanks for now,Best RegardsSteve.

Simon F Posted July 7, 2006 Author Share Posted July 7, 2006 (edited) Perhaps Steves information explains this picture of Erbe posted earlier now in full. Two wounded Compadres and Erbe with the wound badge and one seemingly untouched friend. The 4 Aircrew perhaps?

Simon F Posted July 7, 2006 Author Share Posted July 7, 2006 (edited) That picture of the wounded men is sandwiched in between 9 other pics of this damaged Ju? There is quite a lot of interest in this aircraft some of which I have already posted, although I cant read the side number it is possible this is their plane.
