Re: Need Help to Confirm ID. Ju88G-7b Night Fighter?

I'm not a Ju 88 expert but according to Gebhard Aders' "History of the German Night Fighter Force" the Ju 88 G-7 was never produced in series (it was to have had an enlarged tailplane) and everything that is called a G-7a, b or c is really just G-6 models with different radar installations.

Manfred Griehl in "Junkers Ju 88, Star of the Luftwaffe" says there were 6-8 prototypes, several of which were lost in an air raid but that one or more could have reached an operational unit.
