JU-52 Floatplane use in Norway Invasion

#1

Post by hucks216 » 09 Sep 2008, 10:52

Hi,
I have a soldbuch to a pilot who flew JU-52 floatplanes during the invasion of Norway, landing troops at Bergen I believe (Unit: KG z.b.V 108).
Can anyone tell me where I can find any good accounts of this units actions during the invasion?

They are great pictures. I wonder if one of those JU-52's belonged to 'my' pilot - unfortunately an answer that is lost to history.

I would like to know if Corgi's new 1:72nd scale Norway Invasion Ju-52 diecast Floatplane is the correct paint scheme for this model.
Any info would be great .
Thanks,
JP
Here is a link to the Ju-52.
