Re: Ju 88 endurance

Just take a look at e.g. Mosquito FB.6 Pilot's Notes. E.g. at sea level the best range TAS at 17,000 lbs. is about 190 kts. At that setting the fuel flow is about 73 Imp. gallons/h. At 160 knots (lowest speed given in the curve) the fuel flow is about 63 gallons/h (extrapolated from the curves). What is more, this data is at 2000 r.p.m. which is not ideal.
