Re: lift to drag ration for Junkers88

IMHO, with most WWII twins executing a dead -stick landing was extremely difficult and if you had the altitude to get out you would. particularly if you were in a loaded condition. Ju 88 was handled well, but required a high skill level, fair amount of landing accidents, even when all was working right. L/D would depend on loading and external stores configuration. Just my two cents (Pilot approx. 60 years).

Best regards,

Artie Bob
