Re: Ju 88 endurance

Hello,


On 10th and 12th of November 1942, two Wekusta 2's Ju 88D-1, each equiped with two tanks of 800 litres, flew long range missions from Nantes in West of France to Trondheim in Norway, bypassing Ireland from the west and passing between the Ferroe and the Shetland Islands. Both times the distance traveled was about 3200km (precisely 3178 and 3191 km) and the duration of the missions of 8h08 and 8h11. But they were only tests that remained without result.
