Junkers 88 code LV+3U
 

Please, may someone tell me which Luftwaffe bomb unit used this code?. I only know that she was a Junkers 88 and flew on the Eastern Front.

I would like to prepare a skin with it and make some screenshots in IL-2.

Many thanks

Do you know which JU-88 variant it is?

i might be able to help (Well, i will do my best) ;)

3U? Wasn't it ZG26?

hmmmm, Like the ones in Norway and Finland?

Sorry I can not say the variant. I only know it was a bomber and was shot down in Russia. The father of a friend in Germany flew in it as a Radioman, bailed and survived, badly hurt. These are the only data he can remember

As far as I know, LV shoud be the Unit Code and 3U the Staffel code and the number of plane in that Staffel.

On the basis of that, i wish i could help more,
but theres not much more i can think of, sorry

Or may be the code is reversed, then 3U+LV, is the right one. In this case, would "V" for Staffel, and "L" for plane in the Staffel, be correct according to the Luftwaffe Standard Codes?

Thank you for your kind help.

With it that way round it does make more sense

3U+ ZG 26 (26th Heavy Fighter Wing; initial formation. Also used onferry aircraft by the 6th Fighter Wing from August 1944 onwards)

Its possible to be one of the C-6s that were used in Russia as train busters and long range fighters.
