Re: The first 4 Ju88C-6 prototypes?
Mauser98, them 8 first (numbers) in C-6 360151 numbers range were all with NJG 2 in 1942 (my list), but these were not prototypes. Why? Because they had no new equipment, but the engines (which made it an C-6!) and basically had same weapons as C-2 / C-4, but first 17 were Ju 88 C-6/B (short range version) but then Ju 88 C-6/C became standard. So far as I know no specific prototypes were for C-6, but maybe (or likely) an earlier C-2 / 4 may have tested Jumo 211 J engines with wood props but as these were already in production (for A-4 and D-1) there may have been no need for testing one!
