Re: Ju 88 endurance

Ju 88 D´s of Westa´s (Weather Recce) presumably with one or two 900 L centre slung drop tanks was capable of 7-8,5 hours as matter of routine (2.800 km). Racks on outer wings could be fitted, but not used on about 99% of them. The use of outer racks (usually) exceeded MAX TOW permissible IIRC. One or more 10,5 hours 3.500 km flight to Rockall and back to Stavanger is known from some log.
