Re: Junkers aircraft flugzeug identification tag help
Hello pillippe1,
Basically most of what you say about repeating old errors is true, just exactly what example you made is not quite right and illustrate that perhaps you too is repeating ´old erros´. Simplified I say this: Junkers did build whole Heinkel designs (He 111 and He 162) but Heinkel also produced Ju 88 wings from 1939 to at least March 1943, and also assembled whole Ju 88´s (with NDD fuselages). Dessau (for most parts) was the company headquarters and postal adress (and its plates say Dessau, despite most parts were made elsewhere) but most early Junkers aircraft were built there. Just very few Ju 88´s were made at Dessau. I dare say ´99%´ of Ju 88´s were built elsewhere but FZB (Bernburg) was the largest of many large Junkers factories and literally hundreds of Lizenz factories made almost countless numbers of smaller (including Junkers designed) parts and sub-assemblies. Details of much of this main production history are the basis of my current Ju 88 book project.
Best regards
