Re: Ju 290A-4, W.Nr. 165

Dear all,

I am not in a position to give comments about the Ju252 nor Ju352, though very interesting but to understand when/why and how the old numbering of Werkenummer changed to the 6-digit Werkenummer and - later - to the last 3 digits of that 6-digit number is most interesting.

At the end of WW-2 several He219's were found on airfields with a 3-digit number, I remember Lech, Eder/Cheb and a few others. Combined with info from flight logs, it seems to me that these 3-digit numbers were indeed referring to the (former) 6-digit Werkenummer.

Love to hear/read more about this subject, perhaps other specific aircraft experts can join this thread with their expertise?

All the best, Marcel
