Re: JU-88 ?

It is not an Me110, because that has constant taper from the wingroot whereas this aircraft has a kink in the trailing edge.

The Ju88 has such a planform, where the outer panels taper more than the centre-section, but the engines are closer to the kink point - were this a twin the engines would be too close to the fuselage. OK, I was misunderstanding the negative, but if you look at the aspect ratio, the planform kink and the inner engine position, this has the proportions of a 4-engined aircraft not a twin.
