TA-152 production?
 

I've read a lot of contradicting or vague information about TA-152 production. Any ideas?

Were any production TA-152C's completed?

Is production of the TA-152H agreed upon at 43 examples built?

Mike

No they were complete

Perhaps they never flew , waiting to be converted into TA 152C-11/R11 .

What about Ta152H's? Some sources speak about up to 150 planes built. BTW, the 152E's are said to habe been reconstructed H's.

Re: TA-152 production?
 

When I say 43 examples I'm referring to TA-152 H's. Wnr. 150 001 - 150 040 and 150 167 - 150 169.

I still can't find any info. on the TA-152E's (E-1 or E-2?) being completed. What were thier WNr.'s? I thought 150 167 was believed as being used for E-2 conversion?

According to Hermann's book the recon 152E-1 was to be based on the Ta152B (Jumo213E) or the Ta152C (DB603L).

The Ta152E-2 became the Ta152H-10 and was based on the Ta152H-1.

for ta152E proof of construction, refer to this forum, on 17th June 2006, 20:16, with a pic of ta152 with short span wing with ju213 engine => ta152E
you will see clearly these specific caracteristics on the planes.
Cheers.

I am still wondering if anything will turn up about Ta 152s seen by friend lying on an airfields scrapyard in (IIRC) Bavaria.
