Hello,
I noticed that in most publications I have seen about the Mistel aircraft the
Fw 190 / Ju 88 G-1 composite is named
'Mistel 2' (Mistel 1: Bf 109 F / Ju 88 A-4, Mistel 3A: Fw 190 / Ju 88 A or C, Mistel 3B: Fw 190 / Ju 88 H-2 - not realized, Mistel 3C: Fw 190 / Ju 88 G-10).
However, the wartime Junkers manual for the 'Mistel 2' is dated June / August 1944 (the first Fw 190 / Ju 88 G-1 composite apparently flew only at the beginning of December 1944) and clearly mentions the
Bf 109 / Ju 88 A-4. See e.g.
http://luftfahrt-dokumente.netfirms.com/#Mistel
Was 'Mistel 1' used for the prototypes only (also Bf 109 / Ju 88 A-4)? Is the information regarding the Mistel
- 3A = Fw 190 / Ju 88 A or C,
- 3B = Fw 190 / Ju 88 H-2,
- 3C = Fw 190 / Ju 88 G-10
correct? Or was the 3A used for any combination of a Fw 190 with a Ju 88 A, C or G-1?
Can anybody bring "light into darkness"?
Thanks,
Roger
