Re: Request for Information on Ju-88C-2 Pilot Notes and cockpit and external views

OK. Hope all stick to "be nice".
The "earlier Ju 88 A variants" were prototypes, and Ju 88 A-1 (plain) with four blader props (and HF antenna under the right side of fuselage), but these same A-1 changed to three bladers (no designation changes) after autumn 1939 (and "A-0" version did not exist), All were A-1īs! None of these became Ju 88 C-2īs. Qoutation "O-Serien" (same as "Vorserie") often seen in German documents does not mean designation Ju 88 A-0, rather just the first seven W.Nr. 0001 to 0007 were Serie 0, then Serie 1 and Serie 2. Serie 3 and onwards became the "Grossserien" A-1 and A-5. The Ju 88 C-1 came in Serie 10 and after that, but were NOT an separate bach. These were tested using "Z/1" (0096 ex-A-1/U16) but others were converted on assembly, with planes getting "numbering Z/1 to Z/20". One (unspecified) "crashed" fuselage (Bruch-Zelle) was used for shooting research (pussibly tested to destruction).
