Re: Luftwaffe im Focus Special #2
IMHO, the A-6/U designation is in most cases incorrect. I have a pretty good list of the A-6 W.Nrs. and some of the most infamously identified "A-6/U"s do not fall in these groups and are actually much later production A-4s. The errors probably originate in the similarity in the appearance of the "bump" fairings for the FuG 200 antenna mountings to those for the A-6 for the cable cutter. I also have been doing a very detailed analysis of W.Nrs. and in certain portions of the Gen.Qu.6.Abt. loss lists, there are a very high percentage of errors, especially for the Ju 88.

Best regards,

Artie Bob
