Re: Ju 88 Werk-Nr. 790

"Since, again if I have understood things right, the D-2 model was a way for Luftwaffe to maximize the range AND have a camera in place since the camera no longer intruded on the fuel cells, were they all converted from A-5F or were some even converted straight away to D-2? Or were they even built from scratch as D-2 without any conversion at all?"

Stig, all A-1 / A-5 had ballast in tail. Placing cameras behind Spant 15 reduced or eliminated the need for this ballast too. And addend mobility regarding operations.

But I will stop here, to continue reseach on stuff brought back.
