Re: Junkers Ju 52/3m engine mounting angle

IMHO, after trying to make drawings from aircraft photos, it is very difficult to determine either linear or angular dimensions accurately. In the case of most WWII LW types the manuals are available, which should answer most questions similar to this one. I only have at hand the Kennblatt Ju 52/3m (see) g4e BIS g8e, g10e, g14e dated 27.4.1944. It seems pretty clear from the 3 view drawing that the propellor arc is parallel to the aft swept leading edge of the wing and is not perpandicular to the fore and aft centerline of the fuselage.

Best regards,

Artie Bob
