Re: Early Bf109 and Ju88
Hi all,
Seems this Ju 88 is ´D-AXVM´ perhaps W.Nr. 0880050 (i.e. ´50´ is seen on u/c leg <as Bernburg mounted ones usually had in the beginnig> and an JFM like ´part plate´ is beside the rear upper gun, seen in photo 23 but is out of focus). This is clearly an early A-1 with the HF (High Frequency) trailing antenna wire mast under right side of fuselage and straight demarcation line of fuselage colours (running straight from flap to tail wheel bay).
The original RLM colours seem to have been oversprayed on wings and fuselage (giving soft edges) with perhaps ´standard Soviet camouflage´ of Dark Green, Dark Earth (Brown) and Light Blue.
Information on other Soviet flown / exported examples whould be interesting. Is it true they also got two Ju 88 A-O´s in 1939?
cheers
