Improper research (aka confused historian?)

So whats strange here? Yes, Ju 88 flown Cyprus to Wright field in 1943 was a Romanian Ju 88 D-1 "Bakseesh" (430650 Recce) but never a captured Ju 188 "Glass Bubble Bomber" as moving pictures in the video show. (posted 4 days ago)
Am I the only one here watching Youtube (Off the record I say this guy likely was drunk when writing that script???

What that actually is, is "factory fresh" ex-Ju 88 A-4 airframe, airframe converted in FZD to the Ju 88 V61 DF+EV 140700 (alias Ju 88 E redesignated Ju 188). Well, USAAF did get a Ju 188 at later stage, postwar from UK, but not related to this story in any way.

Thanks for watching.

Best
Ed
