Re: Ju87-losses due to "bomb-explosion"
12 July 1943: Ju 87 B-1, WNr. 5189, M9+YA of 4. Störkampfstaffel Luftflotte 4 was lost due to "Explosion in der Luft"
3 July 1944: Ju 87 D, E8+VH of 1./NSG destroyed when its engine caught fire on the ground, detonating its bomb load.
I'm not an expert but detonations in the air might result from a fault in the method used to arm the bomb as it leaves the aircraft.
