Re: Ju 86 P loss(es) on 15 April 1941 in Ukraine

Hi Guys, just want to highlight that the cameras used on Ju 86 P-1 was 3 Rb 75/30, with only two Rb 75/30 kept on the Ju 86 P-3.


The Do 215 B-4 on the other hand had two Rb 50/30 and one Rb 20/30 - which could explain why the S (Senkrecht) would have a different scale than the right and left cameras. Just raising the issue that there is no information on the plots divulging the type of aircraft used for the flight (unfortunately). Since also other types of aircraft were used for these overflights, I'd be hestiant to tie the plots to an aircraft type unless it can be verified by e.g. flugbuch entry or similiar confirming the geographical route.
