Re: Request: Torpedo LT F5b pics for Ju 88
Hi
The form/shape of the "fins" is the best way to define the type of LT
LT F5b: The angle of the front side of the fin and the LT is very precipitous.
LT F5w: The angle of the front side of the fin and the LT is more smooth.
Finally, the torpedo mounting device could handle both types, having different connectors for transmitting settings to the torpedo.
So both types have been used, specially in italy around 1943.
@ChrisS:
So the first of your pictures is more likely a LT F5w, according to the form of the "fins".
@Simon,
attached one picture, i have already posted here a while ago, showing the tail of a F5b and a Ju88. The other picture is LT5w, where you can see in detail the specific form of the fins.
