Junkers Ju-88C NJG2.1 (R4+DK) Catania Sicily 1941 01

Photo 01: In addition to its Ju-88C-6 night fighters, I./NJG2 used a number of Ju-88A-4s for bombing operations. One such aircraft, R4+DK operated by 2./NJG1, is shown here with the glazed nose area just visible. Note the white band around the rear fuselage, applied to almost all Luftwaffe aircraft operating in the Mediterranean area, and the yellow undersurfaces on the engine cowlings which were to assist Axis ground forces in identifying friendly aircraft.
