Identity of Ju 88 with stammkenzeichen DH+AG?
 

Good afternoon,

In researching the development of the BMW 003 turbojet I found this item from the United States Department of Commerce, Index to Bibliography of Scientific and Industrial Reports, Volume 5, (April 4 - June 27, 1947), p. 614:

"...

PB L 72095 BMW FLUGMOTORENBAU GESELLSCHAFT M. B. H., MÜNCHEN. Zündversache mit der sonderkraftstoff J2 an triebwerk 041 eingebaut in Ju 88 DH-AG (Ignition tests with special starting fuel J2 in turbojet engine 041 installed in Ju 88 standard bomber). Flugerprobung. Oranienburg. Sep 1944. 3 p. Price: Microfilm - $1.00 - Enlargement print - $1.50
Starting fuel is injected by an electric pump. At cautious acceleration of engine the turbine undergoes a heat increase up to 750 to 900 degrees C, which is considered too high.

Abstract prepared at Headquarters Air Materiel Command, Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio.

What is the model of this Ju 88 and if possible the werknummer?


Thanks in advance,

Jim

Thank you Steve. Every piece of information helps.

By the way, Dipl. Ing. Peter Kappus of BMW was in charge of the flight testing of the BMW 003. In 1945, his Sonderkommando Burg included "a Ju 88 engine test bed, RG+RW, fitted with a BMW 003" (Smith & Creek, Me 262: Volume Two, (1998), p.310).
