Aders on Ju 88G-7
Although this information isn’t new, here’s what I found on the Ju 88G-7 in the English edition of “History of the German Night Fighter Force 1917-1945”, page 186. Summarizing:
“…fitted with more powerful Jumo 213 engine, it also had the pointed wingtips of the Ju 188/388 series, as specifically stated in an RLM aircraft type manual. Only about 10-12 Ju 88G-7s were completed in November 1944 and none were ever delivered to an operational unit…Plans for large scale series production were shelved because the performance of this version did not show any notable improvement over that of the current Ju 88G-6 series”
In an appendix, Aders gives performance as:
Max Speed: 584 km/h @ 9,000 m
Range: 2,220 km
Ceiling: 9,800 m.
