*There is good online references on how German RLM Aircraft Designations were written.

**Long wing did not indentifiy if Ju 88 D-2 or not.
The new Ju 88 D-2 designation was suggested by JFM Dessau and approved by the RLM on 15.03.1941 (In effect no D-2 exist before that time!) Usually (three) Rb 30/50 mapping cameras in rear bomb bay in A-5 F version were relocated to aft of Frame 15 - in both Ju 88 D-2 and Ju 88 D-1, thus one more internal Fuel tank could be carried, but numbers of Rb 30/50 mapping cameras (usually) reduced to two.
